Oahu
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!!
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.
花火が打ち上げられるか天候が心配でしたが、予定通り8時から打ち上げられ、船上から花火を堪能できました。その後、ダイヤモンドヘッド近辺までクルーズして、ワイキキの夜景がきれいでした。
I participated in this show two years ago, and this time I decided to repeat the experience. Last time, I only attended the show, but this time I splurged on the VIP package. The show starts at 8 PM, but VIP guests are allowed to enter early at 6:15 PM and are guided to great seats by the stage.
Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it pleasantly surprised me. The appetizer was lobster and salad, the main course was a combination of tenderloin steak and salmon steak, and the dessert was a generous serving of pineapple and sorbet. Everything was delicious and plentiful. I think it would be great even as a regular restaurant.
Now, regarding the show itself, it exceeded my expectations! It was quite different from what I saw two years ago, and it was clear that they took care to cater to repeat visitors. Last time, the stage mainly featured Elvis, Michael (who seem to be permanent cast members), and Madonna, but this time it featured Elvis, Michael, and Whitney. The song selections for the two permanent cast members were quite different, allowing for a fresh experience.
Overall, the stage skillfully blended Hawaiian culture, surpassing the realm of a mere impersonation show. Traditional performances like hula and fire dancing were of extremely high quality, and for those who can't make it to the Polynesian Cultural Center, this show is more than sufficient.
Additionally, as I felt two years ago, the staff were incredibly friendly and kind.
In summary, this is a fantastic show that I can recommend from all angles. You can truly enjoy the essence of Hawaii, and I highly recommend repeating the experience every time you visit Hawaii. I definitely want to see it again on my next trip!
一昨年も参加したこのショー。今回もリピートしてみました。
前回はショーのみでしたが、今回は奮発してVIPコースです。ショーの開始は20時からですが、VIPコースの人たちは6時15分に先行入場開始で、ステージサイドのいい席に案内してもらえます。
正直、お料理はあまり期待してなかったのですが、これがいい意味で期待を裏切られました。前菜はロブスターとサラダ、メインはテンダーロインステーキとサーモンのステーキの盛り合わせ、デザートは大盛りのパイナップルとシャーベットだったのですが、どれも十分においしく、量もたっぷりでした。普通のレストランとしてもいいセンいってると思います。
そして、肝心のショーですが、これもまた期待以上!2年前に見た内容とはかなり違い、リピーターにも十分に配慮していることがよく分かりました。前回はエルビスとマイケルと(この2人は不動のキャストのようです)マドンナの3人を主にフィーチャーしたステージでしたが、今回はエルビス・マイケル・ホイットニーの3人のフィーチャーで、不動の2人のキャストの選曲も結構違ってて、新鮮な気持ちで楽しむことができました。
全体的に、ステージはハワイの文化を上手に融合させたもので、単なるモノマネショーの域を超えるものでした。フラやファイヤーダンスといった伝統的なショーも極めてレベルが高く、ポリネシア文化センターに行く時間がとれない方はここのショーでも間に合ってしまうくらいの出来です。
また、2年前にも感じたのですが、スタッフの人たちがすごくフレンドリーで親切です。
以上、全方位からおすすめできる素晴らしいショーです。きちんとハワイらしさも満喫できますし、ハワイに来るたびにリピートするのもおすすめです。私も次回の渡ハの際は絶対また観たいと思います(^^)!
Thank you very much for attending. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。
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!
I attended the VIP course with my mother, who loved Presley. While waiting and watching the hula, we were called from the green room for the VIP entrance. As soon as we entered, we took photos with the female performers (they later came around to sell the photos for $25) and received a welcome drink. There were also light snacks of fruit and chips.
Once we were seated, our assigned waiter came to greet us. There was a section on the final survey to write the waiter's name. The meal started with lobster and salad. The lobster was substantial even as a half portion and was delicious.
For the main course, we had steak and salmon. The portions were large for us, and we ended up leaving some behind, but I think it would be fine for men. My mother, who doesn't like meat, requested to change her steak to fish, but she received the same salmon twice. I couldn't complain, but I would have appreciated it if they could have changed the sauce at least. It seems they could also change it to chicken.
The dessert was also very tasty, but I was already full and could only eat half. What a shame. During the meal, I wasn't bothered by the gazes from the second-floor seats. It seemed like they came in around dessert time.
After the meal, we had a little time to go to the restroom before the show. Depending on the table's location, it might take some time for the service, and depending on the speed of the meal, it could be tight.
When the show started, the audience got excited. There were dances to songs from different eras of Hawaii, hula, and a slightly chubby Michael doing the moonwalk. The fire dance was captivating.
As for Presley, it seems he didn't quite meet my mother's expectations, but I enjoyed it enough since I didn't know the real thing. This was my first time at Rock-a-Hula. I participated with a mindset of just trying it out, but I'm glad I went. If the content changes, I would consider participating again.
プレスリーが好きだった母を連れて、VIPコースに参加しました。
フラを見ながら待っていると、グリーンルームVIPの方々から呼ばれていきます。次はVIPの入場。
入るとすぐに出演者の女性との写真撮影(後で席まで売りに来ます。$25でした)をして、ウェルカムドリンクをいただきました。軽食のフルーツとチップスもありました。
席に着くと担当ウェイターさんが挨拶に来ます。最後のアンケート用紙にウェイターさんの名前を記入する欄もありました。
食事はロブスターとサラダからスタートです。ロブスターは半身でも食べ応えがあり、美味しかったです。
メインはステーキとサーモン。私たちには量が多く、残してしましましたが
男性なら大丈夫だと思います。肉が苦手な母はステーキを魚に変更していただいたのですが、同じサーモンが二つでした。わがままは言えませんが、ソースだけでも変えてもらえたら嬉しかったです。他にチキンにも変更していただけるようです。
デザートもとても美味しかったのですが、すでに満腹で半分しか食べられませんでした。残念。
食事中、二階席からの視線は気になりませんでした。デザートのあたりで入ってきたような・・・。
食後はショーまで少しトイレに行ったりする余裕もありました。
テーブルの位置によってはサーブされるのに時間がかかったり、食事のスピードなどによってはギリギリかもしれません。
そしてショーが始まると、客席も盛り上がります。
ハワイの年代ごとの曲にあわせたダンス、フラ。ちょっとぽっちゃりなマイケルのムーンウォーク。迫力のファイヤーダンスには目が釘付け。
肝心のプレスリーは、母の期待には及ばなかったようですが
実物を知らない私は十分楽しめました。
今回初めてのロック・ア・フラ。試しに行ってみよう、という感じでの参加でしたが、行ってみて良かったです。
内容が変わったりするなら、もう一度参加してもいいと思っています。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。
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。
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 always used to go catamaran sailing in Waikiki, but it was my first time on a Friday night. The cruise after sunset was wonderful, and with the calm sea and a sky full of stars, I was reminded once again of how great Hawaii is.
Speaking of Friday nights, there are the Hilton fireworks, and seeing the fireworks from the sea offers a panoramic view that feels different from watching them up close, which was really nice.
It seems that both Friday night and sunset cruises often get fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. By the way, alcoholic beverages are available for free flow. I enjoyed about three glasses of sparkling wine.
ワイキキでは必ずカタマランセーリングを利用していましたが、金曜夜は初めての利用でした。サンセット後のクルージングでしたが穏やかな海と満点の星に「やっぱりハワイはいいな~」とあらためて感じることができました。
金曜夜と言えばヒルトン花火ですが、海から見る花火はパノラマミックで近くで見るのとはまた違った感じでよかったです。
金曜夜はもちろん、サンセットクルーズも予約で満席になることが多いようです。ご利用の際には事前予約をおススメします。
ちなみにアルコール類がフリーフローでいただけます。スパークリングワインを3杯ほどいただきました。
Thank you very much for your help.
I was disappointed that the guest I was looking forward to wasn't there on the day, but the band that performed was very good, and the food and atmosphere were excellent.
If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to use your services.
大変お世話になりました。
当日、目当てのゲストではなかったので残念でしたが、当日のバンドの方達もとてもよく、お料理、雰囲気とても良かったです。
またハワイに行く時がありましたら是非利用させていただきたいと思っております。
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)
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour and for the detailed report. The weather... is just part of outdoor tours... We look forward to your revenge participation, Miko!
アロハ!ツアーご参加&詳細なレポートありがとうございます。
お天気。。。だけは屋外のツアーにつきものでして。。。。
みーこ様のリベンジ参加お待ちしております!!
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。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。
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☆
I participated with a friend. A Japanese lady taught us how to ride, and off we went to the sea. I thought the two older women wouldn't be able to ride, but they did quite well and it was a lot of fun. I want to challenge myself again!
友人と参加
日本人のお姉さんに乗り方を教えてもらい、いざ海へ
おばさん2人は乗れない!と思っていましたが、結構乗れてとても楽しかったです
また、チャレンジしたいです
Dear Moripi,
Thank you very much for your 5-star review. We have many participants in stand-up paddling, regardless of age. (I believe the average age of participants is much higher compared to surfing.) Just like surfing, once you learn to balance on the board, it's something you won't forget, similar to riding a bicycle. We hope you will join us again on your next trip to Hawaii. We also offer board rentals at a very reasonable price, conveniently located right in front of the ocean.
We look forward to your next visit!
もりぴー様:
5つ星の口コミ、誠に有難うございます。スタンドアップパドリングには年齢層にかかわらず沢山の方に参加して頂いております。(おそらく参加なさる平均年齢層は、サーフィンに比べるとはるかに上だと思います。)サーフィンもそうですが、ボードの上でのバランスは、自転車と同じく一度見につけたら忘れないものですので、次回の渡ハの時にも是非また参加なさってください。ボードレンタルも格安で行っており、海の目の前においてあるため、とても便利だと思います。
またのお越しをお待ちしております!
Due to the storm approaching the Hawaiian Islands from the previous day, the event was held indoors, and I didn't feel much benefit from the diamond seating arrangement. The meals were served buffet-style, and while there was some priority, it was mostly free seating. Additionally, there were very long lines, with a gap of over 30 minutes between the front and the back, so there's room for improvement there. As for the food, I thought it was just okay. However, the show itself was highly entertaining and very enjoyable.
前日からのストームがハワイ諸島接近で雨風強く室内での開催となり席の配置がダイヤモンドでも余りメリットを感じなかった、また食事はビッフェ式だが一応優先はあったがほぼ自由となり、また非常に長い列が発生し軽く30分以上は先頭と最後尾には差があったのでそこは改善余地あり、食事内容はまあこんなもんかなぁと思う内容だった。しかしショー自体はエンターテイメントが高く見応え充分でした。
The pier is near to the sandbar, it won't take too much time to sailing to there. With clean water and beautiful sandbar scenic, we had a very great time there! During lunch time, with awesome hawaii burger, and enjoy the music singing by the crew, it's the biggest pleasure. Seeing so many green sea turtles is an unforgettable experience, snorkeling around the reef also fun.
Over all was a great experience and great day just a little cramped on helicopter for a 6fter was the only complaint. All operators were informative and friendly .
On our last day of vacation, we took the morning cruise. It was amazing! Woody and Zach are great! It was so relaxing ... And those views! Just gorgeous! We had the added bonus of seeing sea turtles and dolphins ... And Woody drew closer and cut the engine so we could watch them for a while. If we had found this cruise sooner we would definitely have taken it more than once.
I participated after taking motion sickness medication. My daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, was also fine. I had some anxiety since I had signed up for the 150 meters, but it was completely okay and felt amazing. I highly recommend you try it. You might not realize how wonderful it feels to float in the air until you experience it yourself. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but we managed with gestures. The staff member was really trying to entertain the participants. On the way back, we gave each participant a tip of ten dollars. Since there were four groups of participants, when it was our turn to fly, we handed our smartphones to other participants to take pictures for us. I definitely want to do this again when I go to Hawaii.
酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。
乗り物酔いしやすい娘も大丈夫でした。
150メートルを申し込んでいたので不安もありましたが全然平気ですごく気持ちよかったです。
ぜひ体験してみて下さい。
空中に浮かんでいくからだがこんなにも気持ちがいいもんだなんて体験してみないとわからないかもしれません。
スタッフさんは日本語は通じないのですがジェスチャーとかでも何とでもなります。
スタッフのお兄さんは参加者を楽しませようと頑張ってくれていました。
帰りに参加者一人10ドルずつチップを渡しました。
私たちは4組の参加者がいたので、自分たちが飛ぶときにはスマホをほかの参加者の人にわたして写真を撮ってもらいました。
またハワイに行ったときには必ずしたいです。
