I’m writing this review to emphasize how great the workers of this cruise are. Great atmosphere, the banana boat was extremely fun, and the driver was a joy. We also got to do some snorkeling, seeing some beautiful fish. My main point of this review is to talk about how amazing the crew was when hit with a massive change. As we were enjoying our time, it got caught short due to a Tsunami warning. Every crew member was fantastic with this, making everyone feel safe and less nervous. It’s a really great time, just pray that you don’t unexpectedly get a tsunami warning!

I participated with my middle school son and my mother. There were four groups including us, consisting of people from European, African, and Hispanic backgrounds. The guide spoke only in English, but there weren't many explanations, so it was manageable as we took turns putting on our belts to fly!
Other points to note and things to be careful about:
- As many have mentioned, motion sickness medication is a must. There was one person on my boat who ended up feeling seasick.
- Although the meeting time is set for 30 minutes before, only the Japanese participants really adhered to it (laughs). I think arriving 10 minutes early would probably be fine!
- It seems that photo taking is optional. They will ask you on the boat, so make sure not to miss that if you want photos!
- Some people mentioned that the photo fee of $40 is cash only, but I was able to pay by card.
- After the flight, you can check the photos at the reception, and they will quickly transfer them to your phone and also provide an SD card (for iPhone users).
- The belt goes around your waist and you put your feet through it, but there was someone whose belt slipped down to their knees while flying, causing them to be in a position that was not seated but rather leaning back. It was quite nerve-wracking to watch. The crew does not check the belts during the flight, so it's best to confirm it yourself!
That's all. During the flight, I had a great conversation with my son about the pleasant wind and the blue sea at high altitudes, which became a wonderful memory. It’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad we participated. Priceless!
中学生の息子と母の二人で参加しました。
私たちと、欧米系、アフリカ系、ヒスパニック系の4組で参加。ガイドは英語オンリー。ですが、特に英語でもそんなに説明なく、ベルトを順につけて飛ぶのでなんとかなります!
それ以外の気づいた点や気をつけるべきこと。
・皆さん書いてますが酔い止め必須。私の船も1人だけ、最後は船酔いされてました。
・30分前集合、となっているが、ちゃんと守ったのは日本人だけ(笑) 10分前でも多分大丈夫です!
・写真撮影は希望制みたいです。船の上で聞かれるので、撮ってもらいたい方はそれを聞き逃さないよう!
・写真代40$は現金のみと書かれている方もいますが、カードで払えました。
・写真は降りた後に受付のところで確認の上、線を携帯につないで一瞬で取り込んでくれます&SDもくれます(iPhoneの場合)。
・ベルトは足を通して腰で締めますが、足(お尻)の部分のベルトが下に落ちたまま(膝の方に近い位置のまま)飛んでしまった方がいて、その方だけ座る体勢ではなく、後ろ重心で寝るような格好になってしまい、見ているこちらがずっとハラハラしました。飛ぶ際にクルーの方はベルトの確認などしてくれませんので、しっかり自分で確認した方がいいです!
以上。
飛んでいる間に高いところで息子と風の気持ちよさや海の青さなど会話したこと、いい思い出になりました。
ちょっとお高いけど、参加してよかったです。プライスレス‼︎
I'm a bit anxious about flying only in English, but I'll be fine!
英語オンリーで飛ぶまで不安ですが大丈夫です!

As everyone has mentioned, it is very enjoyable and offers magnificent views.
There are breaks for photo opportunities, but you can fully experience it for a solid two hours.
The downside is the waiting time. I departed from the Sheraton at 8:15 and my experience was scheduled for 10:45, but there was over an hour of waiting before the experience. This is manageable, but after the experience, it ended around 12:50 and I had about three hours until the return bus at 15:45. Even if you take your time for lunch and look at souvenirs, you will have about two hours to spare.
If you want to make the most of your limited travel time, I think it's better to go by rental car.
皆さんが書かれている通り、とても楽しく、雄大な景色を望めます。
写真撮影休憩などはありますが、しっかりたっぷり2時間体験できます。
残念な点は待ち時間です。私は8:15にシェラトン出発、10:45〜体験のコースでしたが、体験前に1時間以上待ち時間があります。こちらはまだしも、体験後は12:50頃に終わって15:45の帰りのバスまで約3時間あります。
昼をゆっくり食べ、お土産をみても2時間ほど持て余します。
限られた旅の時間を有効活用したい方はレンタカーなどで行かれた方がいいと思います。
The bus has air conditioning, so a jacket is essential. Some people mentioned that sitting at the front (in order of check-in) avoids dust, but I didn't notice much of a difference. There's no need to
バスは冷房が効いているため上着必須。バギーは前の方(受付順に前)が土埃をくらわない、と言っている方もいましたが、あまり変わらない印象でした。焦らなくて大丈夫かと。

We went out on a very windy day, which did not do anyone any favors. Lots of sick tourists! But that could not be helped as the captain doesn't control the weather. The fishing was awesome! Every person caught a person, and the crew fileted one for us to take home. Lots of varieties of fish to be caught, and were caught.

The crew was very kind, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The banana boat was thrilling. Additionally, seeing sea turtles up close was amazing. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding. I was able to stand, but with the waves, it was difficult to go in the direction I wanted. The live music was also great. However, it was disappointing that the sandbar was submerged and not visible.
クルーの皆様はとても親切で、日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、安心して過ごせました。
バナナボート迫力満点。さらにウミガメも間近で見られて最高でした。Supは初体験でした。立つまでは出来るのですが、波もあり、思う方向に進むのが大変でした。
ライブミュージックも良かったです。
ただ、サンドバーは水位が高く見れなかったのが、残念でした。

Unfortunately, when we arrived at Sandbar, the beach was visible, but by the time we received the explanation and got on the canoe that was prepared for us, it was submerged.
You can check the tide schedule on the website, so it's recommended to confirm that before you go, but even without that, you can have a lot of fun.
サンドバーは残念ながら着いた時は浜が見えていたのに、説明受けて、つい手前に用意されていたカヌーに乗ってなんてしてる間に水没。
潮の満ち引きはサイトで調べられるので、確認してから行かれるのがおすすめですが、それ抜きでもとても楽しめます。
It's cold when you come out of the sea. I recommend bringing a change of clothes.

**Review**
The round-trip transportation to Hanauma Bay and the rental of snorkeling gear made it easy to enjoy snorkeling with minimal luggage! Even in shallow areas where you can stand, there were fish as big as those in Thailand swimming around, allowing beginners to see many fish, which was a lot of fun. The time spent at Hanauma Bay was also sufficient.
The driver spoke English, but he spoke slowly and used simple language, making it easy to understand. He was friendly during the ride, and I felt the warmth and kindness of the people of Hawaii! It was truly a wonderful experience that will remain a lifelong memory.
I also appreciated that I could enter Hanauma Bay without worrying about the reservation scramble that individuals have to deal with.
**Points for Improvement**
The bus was scheduled to gather at 5:40, but it actually arrived at exactly 6:00. Since there were elderly passengers on the same bus, I understand that delays can happen.
However, there were two emergency contact numbers provided in case of delays, but neither of them was reachable. Both just had an automated message saying, "The office opens at 8 AM, so please call back after that." I waited for 20 minutes and was really starting to feel anxious about whether to leave. I would like to see the emergency contacts made more reliable.
The driver was a good person, and because of his kindness and the beauty of Hanauma Bay, I am very satisfied overall, but I deducted one star due to the phone issues.
【感想】
ハナウマ湾への往復の送迎と、シュノーケリングのための道具を貸し出してくれるので、少ない荷物で快適にシュノーケリングが楽しめました!
海の中で足がつくような浅い場所でも、タイくらいの大きさの魚が泳いでおり、初心者でも何匹も魚を見ることが出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ハナウマベイに滞在できる時間も十分でした。
ドライバーさんも英語で話しますが、ゆっくり目に話してくれたり、簡単な英語で伝えてくれるので理解しやすかったです。
往復の車内でもフレンドリーに話してくださり、ハワイの人の温かさや親切さを感じました!
一生の思い出に残る、本当に良い経験が出来ました。
個人でハナウマ湾に入る時に申し込まなければいけない、ハナウマ湾入場の予約争奪戦を気にせずに確実に入場出来るという点も、安心でした。
【改善して頂きたい点】
バスの集合時刻は5:40集合となっていましたが、実際にバスが到着したのは6:00ちょうどでした。
同じバスのお客さんに高齢の方もいらっしゃったので、到着時間が遅れた事自体は仕方ないと思っています。
ただし、バスの到着が遅れた際に連絡する緊急連絡先のような電話番号が2個案内されていましたが、どちらも繋がりませんでした。
どちらも自動音声で、「事務所のオープンは8時だから、それ以降に電話して下さい」と言う英語の音声が流れるだけでした。
20分待って、本当にもう帰ろうかと思うくらい不安でした。緊急連絡先はしっかり繋がるようにして頂きたいです。
ドライバーさんは良い人でしたので、ドライバーさんの人の良さとハナウマベイの素晴らしさで、総合評価としてはとても満足ですが、電話が繋がらなかったことで星を-1させて頂きました。
I thought the entrance to Hanauma Bay was first thing in the morning, but the time was determined by the group on the bus I took, and we were informed of the entrance start time on-site that day. Mine
ハナウマ湾の入場は朝一番なのかな、と思っていましたが、乗ってきたバスのグループ別に時間が決まっており、当日現地で入場開始時間を伝えられる形でした。私は7:20でした。

I went parasailing for the first time. I usually don't get motion sickness, but while waiting for others to finish parasailing, I felt really nauseous. Since we were the first ones to go, it didn't affect the parasailing itself, but I definitely got quite sick. Both of the staff members spoke English, and they could speak a little Japanese as well.
初めてパラセールをしました。
普段乗り物酔いはしない方ですが、他の方のパラセールを待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔いました。私たちが1番初めにやったので、パラセール自体に支障はなかったものの、しっかり酔ってしまいました。
スタッフの方は2人とも英語でしたが、少しだけ日本語も話せていました。
Please be sure to take some motion sickness medication. Also, there is nothing around, so if you bring drinks and snacks, I think you can pass the time until departure.
酔い止めをぜひ飲んでください。また、周りには何もないので、飲み物やスナックなど持って行くと、出発までの時間を潰せると思います。

I used this tour company for a family trip (my kids are in 8th and 6th grade). This is my third experience at the sandbar, but I choose this tour company every time. The reasons are that the staff is cheerful and fun, the boat is large and has a roof, you can enjoy light snacks, the live music is exciting, and you can enjoy marine sports. This time, I signed up for the banana boat experience. During the banana boat ride, we spotted a sea turtle, so they stopped the boat for us. They also respond to music requests. Overall, there seems to be a lot of American participants, but there are Japanese staff members guiding us. Other staff members also communicate in broken Japanese. I plan to use this tour again.
家族旅行で利用しました。(子供は中2、小6)
サンドバーは3回目の体験ですが、毎回このツアー会社を選んでいます。
理由は、スタッフが陽気で楽しいこと、船が大きく屋根が付いていること、軽食が楽しめること、音楽生演奏が盛り上がること、マリンスポーツが楽しめることなどです。
今回はバナナボート付きで申し込みました。
バナナボート体験中、途中で海亀を発見したので船を停めてくれました。

全体的にアメリカの参加者が多いイメージですが、日本人スタッフが案内してくれます。他のスタッフも片言の日本語でコミュニケーションしてくれます。

I think it's better to check the tide levels in advance online and choose the date and time accordingly for a more enjoyable experience.

The staff were all very friendly, but most of the people around were native speakers, and announcements and services were only in English, so those who prefer service in Japanese might find it inconvenient. Inside, there are long benches and long tables, and they guide you according to your group.
The activities were plentiful; my husband enjoyed beach volleyball, and our first-grade child was thrilled to see tropical fish with the floaties and goggles we brought, as well as a life jacket that was available for rent. It seems you can walk in the coral areas, so I think it's essential for children to have beach shoes (that can be worn in the water) to prevent injuries. Adults would also feel more secure having them.
After snorkeling, I spent a relaxing time on a boat with my daughter, enjoying the beautiful sea while riding on a SUP (you don't have to stand). On the way back, everyone was happily dancing to live music, and we were all healed by the aloha music at the end, creating a special memory.
As for snacks, there weren't any meals like sandwiches, and only donuts were provided (which ran out early due to competition), so it's better to bring your own if you think you'll need more. Coffee is made by getting the grounds and adding hot water yourself. Alcohol is available for a fee. There are two toilets, but they don't have automatic flushing, so you have to use the water from the bottle inside the toilet to flush it yourself.
スタッフの方は皆さんとてもフレンドリーでしたが、周りはネイティブの方がほとんどでアナウンスやサービスも英語のみなので日本語でサービスをご希望の方には不便に感じるかもしれません。中は長ベンチと長テーブルの席になっていてグループごとに案内してくれます。
アクティビティは充実しており、夫はビーチバレーを楽しみ、小学校一年生の子供は持参した浮き輪、水中眼鏡と貸し出しがあったライフジャケットでトロピカルなお魚たちを大興奮で見ていました。珊瑚の所は歩けるみたいなので、怪我防止に子供のビーチシューズ(海中で履ける)は必須だと思いました。大人もあった方が安心です。
私はシュノーケリングの後、娘と好きなようにSUPに乗ったり(立たなくていい)綺麗な海を見ながら船でのんびり過ごしました。帰りはライブミュージックでみんな楽しくダンスしていて最後はアロハミュージックに癒されて特別な思い出になりました。
軽食ですが、サンドウィッチなど食事になるものはなく、ドーナツしか用意がなかったので(争奪戦で前半になくなる)足りない人は持参した方が良いです。コーヒーは粉をもらって自分でお湯を入れます。お酒は有料です。
トイレは2つありますが、自動洗浄はなくトイレの中に置いてある水ボトルの水を自分で流します。
Beach shoes are a must.

The whole staff was so friendly and was so helpful for first timers. It was high tide and we did snorkeling first, the kids loved it learning for the first time. I tried paddle boarding and it was hard for me but still fun. The kids did the banana boat and it was fast and my three year old granddaughter had to ride on the boat instead, but she still had a blast. The band played Island music and it was perfect. We were there at the sandbar for three hours and it was exhausting but still fun. We would love to come here again next year.

I was not good with heights or screaming, but I didn't feel any sense of falling and was able to enjoy the stunning views. There were no Japanese participants or guides, but it wasn't a problem at all. The photo option was a bit pricey at $40, but I ordered it as a keepsake (I received it on an SD card, so I haven't checked the content yet). Considering that we did it together just once, I don't think the price is that high! It was amazing!
絶叫や高所が苦手でしたが、落ちる感覚は全くなく絶景を楽しめました。
参加者、ガイドには日本人はいなかったですが困ることはなかったです。
写真のオプションは40ドルと少し高めでしたが記念に残るので頼みました。(SDカードで受け取るのでまだ内容確認できていません)
一緒に一度と考えたら値段はそんなに高くないと思います!最高でした!
I didn't get seasick!
船酔いはしませんでした!

We had a blast with these experienced folks on the boat! They made sure we were safe and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who wants some fun in the sun on a boat!

It was my first time overseas and my first parasailing experience, so I was anxious, but the kind support made it enjoyable from start to finish!

Loved the quick boat ride out! Felt like most of the time was spent waiting for people to arrive- didn't get a ton of time out on the sand bar

I had plenty of time and was very satisfied. However, it was a bit disappointing that there were many filming locations and I couldn't visit them all. My face got dirty from the dust.
時間も十分にあり非常に満足です
ただ映画の撮影場所が多く、全て回れなかったのがちょっと残念です

I participated in the 150m jump since I was there anyway. The instructor primarily spoke English, but seemed accustomed to Japanese people, so there was no need to worry as they explained things in simple Japanese during the preparation. When I mentioned it was our honeymoon, the humorous instructor got everyone involved and made it lively. My companion was very scared, but once it started, the scenery was so beautiful that they forgot their fear. You need cash to take photos, but I’m glad I asked. They transfer the data to an SD card and smartphone.
せっかくならと150mで参加しました。
インストラクターの方は基本的に英語ですが、日本人に慣れているようで、準備の時は簡単な日本語で説明してくれるので心配ありませんでした。
ハネムーンだと伝えると周りの参加者を巻き込んで盛り上げてくれるユーモア溢れるインストラクターでした。
同行者はとても怖がっていましたが、はじまると景色がとても綺麗で怖さも忘れてしまったそうです。
写真を撮るのに現金が必要なのですが、お願いしてよかったです。

If you have even a slight concern about motion sickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication. I usually don't get sick, but I experienced quite a bit of rocking on the boat and felt re

I received a helmet and goggles for rent, and they also provided a mask that fits on the face. The instructors primarily speak English, but there are explanations of the driving rules available in Japanese, so as long as you pay attention to the instructions, you don't need to worry. There are several photo spots along the way, and the instructors enthusiastically take pictures for you. If you go after watching Jurassic Park, it might be a great way to experience a pilgrimage to a sacred site. (It seems to be a filming location for another work as well.) There were also places where you could experience horseback riding, so I thought I would like to try that next time.
ヘルメット、ゴーグルはレンタルで顔につけているマスクのようなものはいただけました。
基本インストラクターの方は英語なのですが、運転のルールなどは日本語の説明も用意されているので、説明をしっかり観ていれば心配ありません。
ところどころ撮影スポットがあり、インストラクターの方が、ノリノリで写真を撮ってくれます。
ジュラシックパークを観てから行くと聖地巡礼を味わえていいかもしれないです。(別の作品のロケ地でもあるみたいです。)
他にも乗馬などが体験できる場所もあったので、次はそちらにも行ってみたいなと思いました。
I think you can have a great time if you go in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. It's best to keep your luggage to a minimum, but since it's hot, you definitely should bring drinks.
汚れてもいい服装で行くと思いっきり楽しめるはずです。
荷物も最小限にした方がいいですが、暑いので飲み物は絶対に持っていった方がいいです。

The view from 150 meters high was very pleasant and absolutely amazing! The explanations at the reception and the instructions for putting on the belts on the boat were easy to understand. There were four groups on board, and we were the first, but taking off while receiving cheers from the other groups waiting on the boat and splashing into the sea was also a lot of fun!! My feet and backside got a little wet, but it dried quickly. Since it was a rare and valuable opportunity, I asked for a photo shoot, purchased an SD card, and transferred the data to my smartphone as well. I'm glad I asked for the photos since we couldn't take them ourselves.
150mの高さから見る景色はとても気持ち良く最高でした!
受付での説明、船でのベルトなどの装着説明も分かりやすかったです。4組乗船して、その中で1番目でしたが船で待っている他のグループの人達からの歓声を受けて飛び立つのも、海にポチャッと落ちるのもまた楽しかったです!!足とお尻が少し濡れる程度なのですぐ乾きました。
滅多にない貴重な機会なので写真撮影をお願いしてSDカード購入、スマホにもデータを移行させてもらいました。自分たちでは撮れない写真なので頼んで良かったです。
The boat can be quite rocky, so if you're worried, it might be a good idea to bring some motion sickness medication.
船はわりと揺れるので心配な方は酔い止めを用意していた方が良いかも。

It was the best two hours, exceeding all expectations!! The vast canyon is definitely worth experiencing. The staff were all kind and fun. The kids had a great time as well. Since it's quite a distance from Waikiki, I think having a shuttle service is more convenient.
期待の何倍も以上に最高の2時間でした!!広大な渓谷は体験する価値あり。スタッフさんも親切で楽しい方々ばかり。子供達もとてもとても楽しんでいました。かなりワイキキから距離があるので送迎付きの方が便利だと思います。
Be prepared to get covered in dust!
