野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Amazing! すごい！

Reviewed by: 稀勢の里

I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.

I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)

I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.

The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!

If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.

イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計３回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです！６匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。（船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます）
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい！
１つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが１個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念！１組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

I was able to meet wild dolphins and sea turtles! ☆ 野生のイルカとウミガメに会えました☆

Reviewed by: NAMI

I participated with a friend. I wanted to see wild dolphins, and I was truly moved not only by the dolphins but also by encountering sea turtles. We offered songs and flowers from the boat, wishing for safety, and then headed straight into the sea. Since we had experience with diving and snorkeling in Japan, we didn't have any particular issues. During the first dive, we only caught a glimpse of the dolphins for a moment, but during the second dive, after moving to a different spot, we were able to see a sea turtle up close, and there were about 15 dolphins swimming in a pod! On the boat, we enjoyed freshly grilled burgers, got dolphin tattoos, and the cheerful crew even danced the hula, making for an incredibly fun time. They also provided free drinking water, which I thought was a great way to prepare for the surprisingly exhausting snorkeling that left us thirsty.

On the way back, the bus had a temporary breakdown and took about an hour to repair before we could set off again. However, thanks to the staff member Mai, who kept us entertained with conversation until we reached our hotel in Honolulu, we managed to get there without too much trouble. I was a bit scared that the bus might break down again along the way, but now it’s a good memory.

This tour became the highlight of my trip. While luck seems to play a part, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet wild dolphins!

友人と二人で参加しました。
野生のイルカを見たい！と思って参加しましたがイルカだけでなくウミガメにも出会えて本当に感動しました。
船上から安全を願って歌と花をささげ早速海へ。私たちはダイビングやシュノーケルを日本でやったことがあったので特に問題なかったです。1回目はほんの一瞬イルカが見えただけでしたが少し場所を移動した2回目はすぐ近くでウミガメを見ることができましたし、イルカも群れで15頭ほどいました♪船上ではその場で焼いたバーガーを食べたり、イルカのタトゥーを貼ってもらったり、そして愉快なクルーがフラを踊ってくれたりとテンション上がりまくりでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。自由に飲めるお水も置いてあり意外と体力を消耗し喉も渇くシュノーケルへの対策がなされていると思いました。
帰りのバスが一時故障し1時間ほど修理をし、再出発するというトラブルがありましたが、スタッフのマイさんがホノルルのホテルに着くまで話をして気を紛らわせて下さったお陰でなんとかホテルまで着きました。バスが途中でダメにならないかと怖い思いをしましたが、今となってはいい思い出です。
このツアーは今回の旅の中で一番の思い出になりました。運もあるようですが野生のイルカに会いたいは方にはオススメです‼︎

A pleasant walk in the air. 気持ち良い空中散歩

Reviewed by: keiko kobayashi

When I arrived at the pickup time, the driver immediately noticed me, and we smoothly arrived at the location. The weather was nice, and two cheerful young men explained everything clearly in broken Japanese, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any problems. I bought photos and a DVD on the spot, and they took more pictures than I expected, which made me very satisfied. On the way back, we were in the same car, but the driver instructed a different drop-off point that ended up being the opposite of another group of Japanese tourists. Since I couldn't speak English, I was dropped off at the wrong place and had to walk back to the hotel in my wet swimsuit.

ピックアップの時間に行くとすぐドライバーさんが気付いてくれてすんなり現地へ到着
天気も良くノリの良いお兄さん2人がカタコトの日本語で分かりやすく説明してくれて何も問題なく楽しめました
写真とDVDもその場で買って思った以上にたくさん撮っててくれて満足
帰りの車は同じ車でしたが、ドライバーさんが指示した場所がもう1組の日本人と逆になってしまいました
英語が話せないためそのまま違う所で降ろされて、濡れた水着のまま歩いてホテルまで帰りました

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

An absolutely wonderful time!

Reviewed by: Alison B

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.

The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.

The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

父と妹と素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。 Had a great time with my dad and sis

Reviewed by: SATOKO

I asked a friend living in Hawaii if there was a place where families could go to see a Hawaiian show, and they recommended this show!

The first part of the show was quite relaxed. My dad seemed to be wondering when it would really start (laughs). Also, the MC spoke in English, so I think those who don't understand English might not catch what was being said at all...

The seats were perfectly fine even at the cheaper price! However, the seats were quite close to the strangers next to us, making it a bit difficult to move around (´･_･`).

The show itself was really impressive and powerful in the second half. The first part might be a little boring, though.

The buffet had a lot of variety, and as a meat lover, it was fantastic for me! There were also vegetables, fruits, and rolls, so I think even those who aren't fond of American food will find something to eat!

ハワイ在住の知り合いから、家族で行けてハワイアンショーが見れるところはないか？と聞いたところ、このショーを教えてもらいました！
最初のショーが結構ゆったりしていました。父は結構まだかみたいな雰囲気でした（笑）そして、MCは英語なので、英語分からない方は何を言ってるか全然わからないと思います、、
席は安い方でも全然十分でした！ただ隣の見知らぬ人ともかなり席が近くて少し動きずらいです(´･_･`)
ショー自体は後半はすごく迫力のある素晴らしいショーでした。途中までは少し退屈かもしれないですね。
ビュッフェもたくさん種類があり、お肉好きの私にとっては最高でした！野菜やフルーツ、巻物などもあったので、アメリカの御飯苦手な方でも少しは食べるものがあると思います！

ハンズ・ヒーデマン　サーフィンレッスン

It was said to be the best! 最高とのことでした！

Reviewed by: yuyu

My 9-year-old child participated and had a great time. They were able to stand up on the board in just one session and now want to continue surfing. The instructor was a foreigner, so I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand some English. By the way, my child can speak, so it seems they had a lot of fun! They also said the instructor was cool.

子供1人『9歳』が参加して最高だった、一回で立てて今後もサーフィンをやりたいと言っています。先生は外人なのである程度英語が分かった方が面白いのかなと思います。ちなみに子供はしゃべれるのでとっても楽しかったようです！先生もかっこよかったと言っていました。

ハワイでパラセーリング　高さ120m／150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞！＜ヒルトン・ワイキキ＞

A sky where time stands still. 時間の止まる空。

Reviewed by: TSUYOSHI

I participated at the last session at 4 PM as a memory of our honeymoon.

The pickup bus was 7 or 8 minutes late, which made me anxious, but in the end, we were able to enjoy the sky and sea of Waikiki without any issues.

It was my first time parasailing. I was surprised at how quiet it was up in the air. I initially thought there would be a strong wind, but instead, it felt like time had stopped as I leisurely chatted with my wife during our aerial stroll. Just the two of us under the slightly setting Hawaiian sky. I felt so happy.

As part of the experience, there was a moment when we were descending to the boat at the end of the session, and they pretended to drop us into the sea for a second before soaring back up into the air. My wife and I got completely soaked, and the seawater stung our noses, but it became a fun memory. I'm grateful for that.

However, the waves were rough that day, and the boat was rocking a lot. An American man who had been lively on the way there was completely groggy on the way back. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must.

新婚旅行の思い出に最終16時に参加しました。

迎えのバスが7、8分遅れて焦りましたが、結果無事にワイキキの空と海を楽しめました。

初パラセイリング。上空は思いのほか静かで驚きました。
当初はもっとバシバシ風が来るものかと思ってましたが、時間が止まったかのような静寂の中、のんびりカミさんと会話しながらの空中散歩。
少し日が傾き始めたハワイの空に2人きり。幸せを感じました。

これはお約束のジョークなのか、体験終了時間が来てボートに降下していく際、一瞬海に落とすフリしてまた上空に舞い上がるという演出が入ります。
我々夫婦はどっぷり頭まで浸かってしまい、海水で鼻がツーンとなりましたが、それも楽しい思い出となりました。感謝です。

ただ、当日は波が荒かったのか、船の揺れがハンパなく、行きのボート上では元気だったアメリカ人のおじさんが帰りには完全グロッキーになっていました。
乗り物に弱い人は酔い止め必須です。

We were greeted at our hotel by a Cruise rep and his trainee who had a wonderful smile. We were taken to our boat and directed to our seats by a wonderful staff who all greeted us with the traditional "Aloha". The Cruise rep and his trainee (Smiley) cited on our table with tremendous professionalism and friendliness making our cruise very pleasant. The food was perfect for this cruise and everything was brought to our table in perfect order. The floor show was spectacular and it was fun seeing the traditions of dance and music. We started off during daylight and cruised the beautiful skyline of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu in the dark. Everyone had a chance to spend time outside on several different viewing areas. This was a great dinner cruise and we highly recommend it to people of all ages.

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Overall satisfied ★ But is there one more step? おおむね満足★でもあと一歩？

Reviewed by: man

This was my first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. My husband wanted to go snorkeling, so we chose this tour where we could swim with dolphins and enjoy snorkeling as well.

First, we were given flowers and had a touching moment of prayer together as we faced the sea. The main dolphin watching part was a bit intense; as soon as we arrived at the spot, we had to jump into the cold water without any warm-up or getting used to it, which made me a bit worried about having a heart attack! The experience of swimming with dolphins was different from what I imagined; instead of leisurely swimming alongside them, it felt more like a hurried attempt to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming below us while snorkeling. Since the dolphins are wild animals, it wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for.

The dolphin watching was over in an instant, and since some people didn't get to see them, we had a total of two watching sessions, but it felt like we were only in the water for about five minutes, which honestly left me wanting more. After that, we returned to the boat, but it was quite cold with the sea breeze, making it really uncomfortable until we reached the next snorkeling spot. I highly recommend wearing a thick hoodie and bringing a large towel.

The snorkeling afterward was satisfying because we got to see sea turtles up close, which was different from the main dolphin watching. However, the snorkeling time was relatively short, and it felt like it was over before we knew it. It wasn't a leisurely experience but more of a quick taste of it. After returning to the boat, we had a lunch that was labeled as BBQ, which turned out to be cheeseburgers. I had seen reviews about this beforehand, so I was prepared, but those expecting a BBQ might feel a bit misled. The taste was good, though.

Afterward, we enjoyed dancing the hula and taking photos, which was fun. However, in the covered area at the back, the deck leading to the second floor obstructed the view, and there was a noticeable difference in enthusiasm between the guests in front and those behind. Since we were seated at the back, I think some adjustments could be made for better visibility for everyone.

▼ Points of Concern
- The BBQ was misleading since I had an image of grilled meat; the cheeseburger label could cause confusion.
- Water was leaking from the air conditioning in the shuttle bus, soaking some guests.
- The photo data was quite expensive.
- The small boat made it feel like we had to be considerate of others during the move, and depending on the seat, the stairs blocked the view and sound of staff explanations and dances.
- There were no napkins or tissues provided for wiping hands after eating burgers and chips, which made things a bit difficult and the seats tended to get dirty.
- There was little consideration for those feeling cold or seasick; it would have been nice to have some towels or something prepared.

▼ Positive Aspects
- The moment of throwing flowers during the prayer was romantic.
- We got to see sea turtles up close.
- The music on the boat was lively.
- The temporary tattoo stickers were a nice touch.

For those who have participated in other tours or are of a more mature age, you might notice some issues with the facilities, timing, and service. If this were a monitor tour price, I would be satisfied, but at the regular price, I would like to see a bit more in terms of quality and time allocation.

I may have been a bit critical, but I’m really glad I was able to participate.

ハネムーンで初のハワイでした。旦那さんがシュノーケリングをしたいとの事で、イルカと泳げてシュノーケルも楽しめるこちらのツアーにしました。
まずお花を配られて海に向かって皆でのお祈りの時間は感動しました♪
メインのイルカウォッチングは、イルカがいる地点に着くと「今からすぐ行くよ！」という感じでそれまで一切準備運動や水に触れる事なくイキナリ冷たい海に飛び込まないといけないので、ちょっと心臓発作にならないか心配になりました；
メインのイルカと泳ぐツアーは少し想像と違っていて、イルカと泳ぐというよりはシュノーケルで真下を泳ぐイルカを急いで見る！みたいな少しせわしないものでした笑
イルカは野生で自然の生き物ですから、ゆっくり横で見れる～という感じではないのでもともとの私のイメージが少し期待しすぎたかもしれません＾＾；
イルカウォッチングは一瞬で終わってしまい、見れない方がいたので合計2回のウォッチングとなりましたが、海にいたのはものの5分程度？と思う程短かったので1回だけでは正直かなり物足りなかった気がします。。
その後船に戻りましたが、海風もあってかなり寒く……。次のシュノーケルの地点まで本当に寒くてツライ位でした；
参加される方はしっかり厚手のパーカと大き目のバスタオルは必須です。

その後のシュノーケリングは、メインのイルカウォッチングと違って海ガメを近くで見ながら泳ぐ事が出来て満足です♪
ただ、こちらもシュノーケルの時間が割と短く、もう終わりか～という感じでした。
ゆっくり楽しんだ！という時間ではなく、ちょっと体験！みたいな時間ですね。
船に戻ってからは、ＢＢＱという名のチーズバーガーの昼食時間。
ＢＢＱの件は事前に口コミを見ていたので、了承済みですがＢＢＱと思って参加される方は「これだけ？」となると思いますので少し過大表記しすぎかと…。
味はおいしいです。

その後は帰りまでフラを踊ったり、写真を撮ったりと盛り上げてくれるのは楽しかったです。
が、奥の屋根付きの所だと二階へのデッキが邪魔で全然見えず、前の客と後の客の温度差が…笑
こちらも奥の座席だったのでちょっと、もう少し皆がみやすい様に工夫が必要かと思います。

▼気になった点
・ＢＢＱは、焼き肉のイメージを持つのでチーズバーガーという表記が誤解がないのでは？
・送迎バスのクーラーから水が漏れていて、お客さんにすごい水掛かっていた
・写真データがあまりに高い
・小ぶりの船で、移動には他の人に気を使う感じだったのと、席によっては階段が邪魔でスタッフの説明やダンスなどが見えない＆聞こえない
・ハンバーガーやポテトチップスを食べるが手をふくものやティッシュもなく（数人に配ったら途中でなくなっちゃった、ごめんね～という感じ）ちょっと大変＆席が汚れがち
・さむがっている人や酔っている人には特に配慮がない（数枚でもタオルや何か用意していてもいいかな）

▼よかった点
・お祈りの時間で花を投げたのがロマンチック
・海ガメが近くで見れた
・海での音楽で盛り上がった
・タトゥーシールがちょっとうれしい

他のツアーなどに参加された経験のある方や割と大人の年齢の方だと設備面や時間、対応などが少し目につく所があると思います。モニターツアーでの価格なら納得♪ですが、正規の料金だともう少し充実度（時間の幅取り）がほしいかなと思います。

少し辛口でしたが、参加できたことはすごく良かったです。

I was able to swim with wild dolphins. It was an early morning tour with mostly shy Japanese participants, but the staff worked hard to keep the energy up, thank you!

Upon reflection, I realized I participated even though I have a fear of heights (laughs). Even at 45 meters, it was thrilling enough. However, the experience of viewing all of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above was exceptional!

I just wish I had known that for an additional $30, I could have had photos taken on the day. I went without that knowledge and only had money for tips... It was difficult to capture my experience with my own camera. So, I give it ★4!

よくよく考えてみたら、高所恐怖症なのに参加してしまいました（笑）
45Mでも、十分スリリングでした。
でも、本当にワイキキ全体と美しい海を上空から眺められる体験は格別でした！

ただ、別途30ドル？当日に払えば、写真を撮ってもらえること知りたかったです・・・。
知らずに行ったので、チップ代しかもっておらず・・・手持ちのカメラでは乗ってる姿を写真に収めるのは困難でした・・・。

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

First Trip to Hawaii

Reviewed by: NoName

Let me start off by saying I NEVER leave reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. So, this is my way of giving back.

My boyfriend and I went to Hawaii in the middle of Oct. This was our first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! You can't go to Hawaii for the first time w/o attending a luau :-) They picked us up from our hotel at 3:30 pm. It was a long drive, took about 45 min. There is an entertainer on the bus to keep everyone awake. Once we got there we were given a mai tai & took a professional photo with a female & male dancer. Before the dinner you can walk around & play games, enjoy the scenery, etc. There were also small shows in between such as a hula lesson, the pig roasting, etc, Once dinner starts you enjoy the rest of the show that is on stage. It is very interactive as they ask for volunteers to come on stage. My favorite part was the fire juggler. The dinner was okay, but there are options for vegetarians & people who do not eat pork. The bar had really good drinks! My boyfriend had the paradise punch & I had the melon colada which was delicious! We did purchase the professional pic that was taken of us, which is a nice memory :-)

Overall, I would recommend especially if this is your first time in Hawaii. We returned to our hotel at about 10 pm, so round trip it is an all night event.

Reviewed by: 家族で

The welcome drink was made too early and got watered down with ice, making it taste bad. The bus guide kept saying "Everyone say" over and over. Unsurprisingly, we were the only Japanese people there. The show had too many songs and stories in between, and it was short, ending in no time. The Polynesian show is better. The Polynesian show is too long, so this one might be recommended for families with children. The buffet was just okay; it wasn't delicious, and the drinks were mostly sweet cocktails, which I can see wouldn't appeal much to Japanese people. However, the view is the best in Hawaii, and the sunset is very beautiful. Thanks to the scenery, I left without being angry. I won't be returning.

ウエルカムドリンクは早くから作りすぎて氷で薄まってまずい。バスガイドは、やたらと　エブリワン　セイ　って、何回も。ご他聞に漏れず　日本人は私達だけでした。ショーーはやたら合間に歌や語りが入り、ショー自体も短くて　あっという間に終わりました。ポリネシアンの方がよいです。ポリネシアンは長くすぎるので、子連れにはこちらがおすすめかも。ビュッフェも　まあこんなもんかと、美味しくはないです　お酒も甘いカクテルのようなものばかりだし、　日本人には　あまり受けないのがよくわかります。ですが、景色はハワイで一番です　夕日がとてもきれいです。景色のおかげで　まあ、怒らず帰りました。リピはないです。

First parasailing 初パラセーリング

Reviewed by: massy

I experienced parasailing for the first time in my life! I rarely go to the ocean, but since my friend said it was fun, I really wanted to try some water sports, so I signed up.

The activity itself started with a pickup in front of the hotel, where I signed a waiver during the car ride to the ocean. Once we arrived, we boarded the boat and set off! The time spent in the air flew by, and it was so much fun. They called it a dry landing, but I ended up getting soaked up to my waist at the end. Since it was a water sport, I thought that was okay (laughs). If they hadn't called it a dry landing, I would have been completely drenched!

I read many comments saying that the boat rocks a lot, so it’s better to take motion sickness medication, so I took some before getting in the car. It was raining on the day, and I thought it might be canceled, so I had the hotel front desk call to check, but they said it was sunny at the activity location, so it was on.

It was just my friend and me, and we did parasailing with two Koreans and four Americans. I also noticed that they seemed to think I didn’t understand English, as they occasionally made negative comments (laughs). Well, it wasn't something to worry about too much.

Overall, I would rate the activity as good, and everything else as fair.

人生初のパラセーリングを体験しました！
めったに海に行くこともないのですが、友人が楽しかったと言っていたのでぜひマリンスポーツをしたくて申し込みました。
アクティビティー自体は、ホテル前でピックアップしてくれて、海に行くまでの車で承諾書にサインして、着いたらボートに乗り込んで出発！という流れでした。
空にいる時間はあっという間でとても楽しかったです。ドライランディングといったのですが、最後に腰くらいまで海に浸かりました。せっかくのマリンスポーツですし、それくらいはアリかなと(笑)ドライランディングと言わなければ全身どっぷり浸かってました！

ボートはとても揺れるから酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいという書き込みが多かったので、車に乗ったときに酔い止めを飲んでおきました。
当日は雨が降っていて、中止かなと思ったのでホテルのフロントの方に電話してもらって確認しましたが、実施場所では晴れているからやります、との事でした。
自分と友人２の人で行って、パラセーリングをしたのは韓国人２人とアメリカ人４人でした。
あと気になったのは、こちらが英語がわからないとでも思ったのか、ちょくちょく悪口を言ってました(笑)まぁ、そんなに気にするほどでもないですが。

全体を通して、アクティビティは○、その他は△かなぁと。

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The crew were great and everything went well.

Saw Dolphins/ turtles and plenty of marine life.

Snorkelling was great. Also upgraded to snuba which was really good and definitely worth it.

ハワイでパラセーリング　高さ120m／150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞！＜ヒルトン・ワイキキ＞

Happy time! 幸せな時間！

Reviewed by: あやみん

My first time in Hawaii, and I finally got to try parasailing! I chose this company because they offered free transportation and the option to select a height of 150 meters. Our driver, Yano, was very friendly and wonderful. The conversation was entertaining! We were the last to get out of the car, and they gave us hair accessories and juice as a gift (*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ Thank you!

The parasailing itself was amazing! I'm glad I chose the 150 meters. The weather was great, and I felt so happy! Seeing Hawaii from the sky was refreshing! Even if you're not good at English, you'll manage just fine. The staff were all very kind ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I paid $30 and also bought an SD card. It was a great memory. Thank you!

初めてのハワイ、ずーっとやってみたかったパラセーリング！無料送迎がついていて、150ｍの高さを選択出来る、こちらの会社にお願いしました。ドライバーのやのさんは、とっても気さくな方で、素敵でした。お話が面白かった！車を下車するのが私達が最後だったのですが、髪飾りとジュースをプレゼントしてくれました(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉありがとうございます。
肝心のパラセーリングも最高でした！150ｍにして良かったです。天気もよく、幸せでした！空から眺めるハワイ、気持ちが良いです！英語が苦手でも何とかなります。スタッフの皆さん、優しいです( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
30＄支払い、SDカードも購入。良い思い出です。
ありがとうございました。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

I'm satisfied with the well-planned tour. よく練られたツアーで満足です

Reviewed by: なおまり

We were picked up at 5 AM, and after an 8-hour tour, we arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM. The program was well-structured, and we had a very fulfilling time. It became a wonderful memory, and I highly recommend it.

First, we were greeted by the bus, where a cheerful Japanese crew member and a beautiful foreign photographer explained the day's itinerary. They also offered us the chance to purchase a USB with photos for $60. It wasn't a hard sell, so you could decline, and since I brought my underwater digital camera, I opted out. However, it seemed that quite a few people ended up purchasing it. Those who bought the USB received a wristband and were prioritized for photos, but the crew also took plenty of pictures of those who didn't buy it, so the USB was filled with photos of other participants. This was a bit embarrassing for those who didn't purchase it, and I wish they would reconsider that practice. By the way, the crew also took photos with my own underwater camera while on the boat. Wet suits are available for rent at $10, and you can get a refund if you don't end up wearing it, which is a nice system. I didn't rent one and just wore a long-sleeve rash guard on top. It was October, but it wasn't cold.

Onboard, the cheerful crew provided great hospitality, allowing everyone to enjoy a fun atmosphere. While cruising, we admired the mountains of West Oahu, spotted rainbows, and found dolphins that jumped in one after another. The water was quite deep and there were waves, but we followed the crew closely and were able to see many dolphins. It was a wonderful experience to see wild dolphins swimming freely in the coral reef waters. There were dozens of dolphins, swimming in groups of 5 to 10, and they came close to us repeatedly.

I felt satisfied when we returned to the boat, but a few people were seasick. I took anti-nausea medication before boarding, but even those who usually don’t get seasick might find it essential. For those prone to seasickness, sitting on the open deck of the boat seems to be a better option. At this time, we were given pineapple.

After that, we enjoyed three hula dance performances (the professional hula dancer was cute and wonderful), and we snorkeled for just under an hour at the turtle spot. We saw three sea turtles and many fish, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. You can also kayak and slide into the sea from the boat. It was a return to childhood fun. Later, we had cheeseburgers (with purple taro buns) and Maui chips while enjoying the fantastic views from the boat. The burger was delicious against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. Finally, we took a group photo with the crew and all participants, which they sent to us for free via email. By the way, water and lemonade were available for unlimited drinks on the boat.

Perhaps due to the large number of participants, there was no announcement for the hula lesson.

After getting off the boat, we went to the port's restroom (which is spacious and clean), and I recommend changing there quickly.

Overall, the tour was well-structured, and we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles perfectly. It was a highly satisfying experience, and I would love to participate again.

朝5時台にお迎え、ホテルについたのは13時半ごろの8時間長のツアーでしたが、よく練られたプログラム構成で、とても充実した時間でした。素晴らしい思い出となりました。お勧めします。
まず、バスのお迎えがあり、日本人クルーの元気なお姉さんと美人な外国人のカメラマンさんが車中、本日の行程について説明してくれ、写真が入ったＵＳＢ（60ドル）を購入するか、案内があります。決して押し売りではないので断ることもできますし、私は水中デジカメを持参したので断りましたが、かなりの人が購入しているようでした。ＵＳＢを購入する人はリストバンドをもらい、重点的に撮ってもらえるシステムのようですが、購入しない私たちの写真もバシバシ撮っていたので、ＵＳＢにはほかの参加者の写真が満載です。。これは、特に購入しないものにとっては、恥ずかしいし、やめてほしいと思いました。ちなみに船上では持参の水中デジカメでも、クルー自ら写真を撮ってくれました。ウエットスーツは10ドルでレンタルできますし、借りたけど実際に着なければ返金されるとのことで親切なシステムでした。私は借りずに上のみ長袖ラッシュガードを来ていました。10月でしたが寒くはなかったです。
船上では陽気なクルーがホスピタリティーをもってもてなしてくれ、みんなで楽しい気分で時間を過ごすことができました。クルージングをしながら西オアフの山々を眺め、虹をみつけ、イルカがみつかり、次々に飛び込みます。かなり深いですし、波もありますが、ここは必死でクルーについていき、たくさんのイルカをみることができました。サンゴ礁の海の中で自由に泳いでいる野生のイルカをみるのは、なんとも素敵な体験でした。イルカは数十頭いて、5-10頭で固まって泳いでいて、次々に近くにきました。
満足した気分で船にあがりましたが、何人かが船酔い・波酔いではいてました。私も吐き気止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、普段酔わない人でも、吐き気止めは必須かと思います。また、酔いやすい人は、船の中でもオープンな甲板に座るほうがよさそうです。このタイミングでパイナップルをもらいました。
その後、3曲フラダンスを踊ってくれ（プロのフラダンサーの女の子でかわいくて素敵でした）、ウミガメスポットで1時間弱シュノーケルしました。ウミガメは3匹、魚もたくさんいて、とても楽しいシュノーケルでした。また、カヤックや滑り台（船の上から海にとびこみます）もできます。童心にかえり、遊びました。その後、船上でチーズバーガー（タロイモの紫のパンズ）とマウイチップスを食べました。船上の素晴らしい景色を見ながらのバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。最後にクルーと参加者全員で写真をとり、これはメールで無料で送ってくれます。ちなみに船上では水とレモネードが飲み放題です。
参加者が多かったからか、フラレッスンは案内がありませんでした。
　船からおりたら港のトイレ（ひろくてきれいです）にいきますが、ここでササっと着替えることをお勧めします。
上記の流れになりますが、よく練られた構成で、イルカもウミガメもばっちり見えましたり、大満足のツアーでした。ぜひもう一度参加したいです。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

I had a great time. 楽しめました

Reviewed by: ナオミ

It wasn't exactly as I imagined, with an abundance of always beautiful fish, but the experience of riding in a submarine is something you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I participated. I joined with my 80-year-old mother, and we were able to enjoy it without any issues.

想像していた程、常に綺麗なお魚がいっぱいというわけでは有りませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗るという体験は中々出来る事ではないので、参加して良かったと思います。80歳の母と参加しましたか問題なく楽しめました。

It was my first submarine tour, and the interior wasn't too cramped, plus the windows were large, so we had a great time. My elementary school daughter was also very excited and happy.

They mentioned a commemorative Atlantis Dive Log (dive record) as a gift, but we were just directed to the exit and didn't receive it. I wonder if I should have said something. (I did receive information about Atlantis Submarine, but I wonder if this counts as a boarding memento?)

初めての潜水艦ツアーでしたが、艦内はそれほど狭くもなく窓も大きく楽しく過ごせました。
小学生の娘も大興奮で喜んでいました。

搭乗記念のアトランティス・ダイブログ（潜水記録）をプレゼント!…とありましたが、そのままお帰り口へ案内され、いただけませんでした。
言わないとだめだったんでしょうか。
(アトランティスサブマリンのご案内はもらったのですが、これが搭乗記念になるのかな？)
