I thought I would see a lot of fish since it was a submarine, but there were no fish at all, and I was just looking at the seabed. It's better not to expect any fish.
潜水艦だったのでたくさんの魚が見れると思ったのですが
全く魚がおらずただただ海底を見ているだけでした

We participated as a couple. We followed the recommendation to join in the afternoon of our arrival day. We were exhausted from the flight, so I wanted to rest a bit at the hotel and have lunch before joining, but there wasn't enough time. We ended up checking in, changing clothes, and hurriedly heading to the meeting place. On the way, I regretted not doing it the next day, but once we got on the boat and out to sea, all those thoughts disappeared! The incredibly beautiful blue sea and sky, the refreshing breeze, and the view of Waikiki from the ocean made me forget reality and lifted my spirits. I was hungry, so the beer hit me pretty hard (laughs), but that was fine too. You get two free drinks, but given the time, it feels like you might not be able to drink both, so it's better to drink quickly. The snacks were just a few types of snack foods in bowls... but they were surprisingly tasty, so I ended up eating a bunch at the end! It finishes quickly, but it's enough for a sailing experience. It was a wonderfully luxurious time where I could just relax. In our session, the participants were about half foreigners and half Japanese. The main crew member was a cheerful and kind Japanese-American who explained everything in both English and Japanese, which was reassuring. Next time, I want to join a longer sailing trip where we can also see dolphins.
夫婦で参加。到着日の午後におすすめという口コミを参考にしてその通りにしました。飛行機でぐったり疲れていたので、ホテルで少し休んで、お昼を食べてから参加したかったのですが、その時間はなく、チェックインして着替えて慌ただしく集合場所へ向かうことになり、途中、翌日にすればよかったかな、と、ちょっと後悔したのですが、船に乗って海に出たらそんなの全部吹っ飛んでしまいました!信じられないほど奇麗な蒼い海と空。気持ちのいい風と沖からのワイキキの眺め。一気に現実を忘れられてテンションが上がりました。空腹だったのでビールが結構効きました(笑)が、それもまた良し。お酒2杯まで無料ですが、時間的に2杯飲めるかどうかという感じなので、さっさと吞んだ方が良いです。スナックは本当にただのスナック菓子が数種類ボウルに入れてあるだけです…が食べてみたら結構美味しかったので、降り際にまとめ食いしました!あっという間に終わりますが、セーリング体験には十分です。気持ちよくボーッとできて最高に贅沢な時間でした。私たちの参加した回の参加者は外国人と日本人が半々位でした。メインクルーのお兄さんは元気で優しい日系の方で、英語と日本語で順番に説明してくれたので安心でした。次回は、イルカも見れる、もっと長時間のセーリングに参加したいと思っています。

You can get a sticker based on the flight distance. First, we started with the 300 feet group. Once the other group of 300 feet finished, it was finally our turn for the 800 feet. However, three-person equipment was installed, and my husband and daughter (800 feet) were called to the center. On either side were couples from the 300 feet group. Indeed, the rope and time were longer than the 300 feet.
It’s not that we were deceived; we were definitely flying at 800 feet. But it’s a mystery why we were grouped with those who had the 300 feet sticker. Essentially, it seems like they benefited from this arrangement. Even though we were a couple, we couldn’t sit next to each other, which felt like an awkward upgrade from 300 to 800 feet. I didn’t ask since I wasn’t losing out, but it felt a bit haphazard.
My husband and daughter who flew said it was incredibly exhilarating! According to my daughter, it was the most fun she had during this trip to Hawaii. She’s saying she wants to fly again, so as an activity, it was fantastic!
飛行距離によって、手にシールを付けられる。
最初、300feetの方から。
もうひと組の300feetの方々が終わったら、いよいよ私たち800feet。
と思いきや3人用金具が取り付けられ、主人と娘(800feet)が呼ばれ真中に。
両脇に300feetのカップルが其々。。確かに紐と時間は、300feetより長い。
騙されたわけでもなく、ちゃんと800feet飛んではいるのだろうが
何故300feetのシールを付けた方々と一緒か謎。。。要はこの方々が得をしてる、という。
カップルなのに、隣同士出来なくてごめんね、的な意味合いでおまけで300→800へのグレードアップなのか。
自分が損してるわけでないのであえて聞かなかったが、なんか適当だな、と思いました。
飛んだ主人&娘は、最高に気持ち良かったと!
娘曰く、今回のハワイで一番楽しかったそうです♪
また飛びたい、と言ってるのでアクティビティとしては最高です!

I signed up for the highest jump at 150 meters among all the groups that flew together. Strangely, I felt no fear at all, and it was definitely the right choice to go for 150 meters. The view of Waikiki, the ocean of Hawaii, and the horizon from above the sea was all breathtaking. I also asked for photos, and when I said in Katakana English, "Please take a lot of pictures!! ♪", they ended up taking 118 shots for me. Since they provided the data on a 4GB memory card, I thought $30 was quite a bargain, and I really felt it was worth it because they used a proper DSLR with a telephoto lens. For some reason, our group was also given the special service of dipping a little into the water, which made me feel like I got a great deal (laughs).
一緒の時間に飛んだ全グループの中で一番高い150mで申し込みました。不思議なことに怖さは全く感じず、150mで大正解でした。海の上空から見るワイキキ、ハワイの海、水平線、すべてが感動的でした。写真もお願いしまして、カタカナ英語で「たくさん撮ってください!!♪」と言ってみたら、118枚も撮って下さっていました。4GBのメモリーカードにデータを入れて頂けるので、それで30ドルは安かったなと思いますし、きちんとした一眼の望遠レンズで撮って下さったので頼んでよかったと本当に思います。なぜかうちのグループだけ水面にちょこっと落としてくださるサービスをしていただき、大変得した気分でした(笑)

The catamaran is in great shape! The crew was FANTASTIC and very accommodating. They really like their job and appeared to be so happy to be on-board with us. We were very lucky to see Dolphin Pods and giant sea turtles!!
This was my friend's first time to do SNUBA. The instructor named Cameron did an incredible job in encouraging and supporting her through out the entire SNUBA portion of this excursion. She dived about 15 feet below the surface and now she wants to become certified diver because she CANNOT wait to get back down there!
Overall it was a great experience! I would definitely suggest this excursion to everyone who visits Hawaii!

Abbiamo fatto questa escursione durante il nostro viaggio di nozze ad Honolulu ed alloggiavamo all'Hilton Hawaiian Village.
L'escursione è stata nel complesso molto bella, ma il servizio navetta per portarti dall'hotel al porto dove partiva il catamarano è stato veramente scadente, all'andata non c'era posto per tutti e due ragazze si sono fatte 40 minuti di strada in piedi, al ritorno abbiamo aspettato circa 40 minuti perchè la navetta ha ritardato.
l'escursione invece è stata molto bella, abbiamo fatto 2 immersioni, abbiamo visto 3 tartarughe ma di delifini neanche l'ombra.
A bordo c'è un bel pranzo e i ragazzi sono gentilissimi e carinissimi!

The pickup was on time, and we were brought by trolley. We were the only Japanese among those who boarded the boat, and the others were native speakers, so it was quite challenging to keep up with the English. However, the staff managed to convey the important points in broken Japanese, which helped a lot. I took motion sickness medication, but I still got quite seasick, and the second half was tough because I felt nauseous. The parasailing itself was very enjoyable.

I participated alone, and on top of that, I was the only one without transportation, so I drove directly to the boat harbor, which made me quite anxious. The day before the tour, I called to confirm the details of the harbor, and since it was my first time driving overseas and there was a cancellation for the second shuttle, they kindly allowed me to switch from the first to the second shuttle, even though it was the day before!
The tour itself was great; unlike other tours where Japanese participants are often left to local guides partway through, the Japanese staff from Dolphin University stayed with us until the end, which was truly reassuring!
The local staff were super enthusiastic! I had so much fun!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but I did see dolphins! It was moving!

I participated at the request of my elementary school child who loves dolphins. The park was an hour away by large bus, but the scenery from the window was wonderful, so I didn't mind the long travel time at all.
During the interaction time with the dolphins, there was a Japanese instructor assigned to each group who provided careful explanations, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We got to see the cute dolphins up close, pet them, and shake hands. My child, as well as I, who was just accompanying them, were very satisfied.
One thing that concerned me was that at the start of the program's pre-explanation, we were suddenly asked to sign a liability waiver (essentially stating that the park is not responsible for any accidents, and that insurance is also waived, etc.). It would be appreciated if we could be informed in advance (at the time of booking) if a signature on the liability waiver is required. I think some people might have reservations about this, but at the same time, we couldn't participate without signing it...
Aside from that point, it was a satisfying program.
イルカが大好きな小学生の子供のリクエストで参加しました。

一点気になったのは、プログラムの事前説明開始時に突然、保険免責の書類(要は何か事故があってもパークには責任はありません、保険も免責になります云々・・)に同意の署名を求められたことです。保険免責の同意書に署名が必要な場合は、事前に(予約時に)周知しておいていただけたらありがたいです。それに抵抗がある方もいらっしゃると思いますし、かと言って、それに署名をしないことには参加させてもらえないのですし・・・。
その点以外は満足できるプログラムでした。
Thank you very much for participating in the activity. We are glad that you enjoyed interacting with the dolphins. We sincerely apologize for the lack of guidance regarding the waiver.

I attended with my fiancé, who is in his 30s, as we are about to get married soon.
The voucher instructed us to call Dolphin University as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made the call. After being asked for our names, date, and where we made the reservation, we had to wait quite a while, which made me anxious about whether our reservation was actually confirmed.
However, we were indeed booked and were able to participate without any issues. Most of the participants seemed to be in their 20s. There was a lively announcement on the bus as well.
We were able to see dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish. In particular, we got to see the turtles and tropical fish quite closely. I brought a waterproof camera, but when it came time to see the dolphins, I felt a bit uneasy and went into the water without it. In hindsight, I wish I had taken some photos.
We were able to meet the dolphins and turtles without much swimming, but I got tired from the marine sports and ended up just watching. Even just watching was enjoyable.
The photos taken by a professional photographer were sold on DVD and CD-ROM for about $60, which included everyone from the tour. I considered purchasing just the well-taken photos of us, but since the price was somewhat high and there were strangers in the pictures, I decided against it. It would have been nice if they offered individual photo sales.
It was a day with very little wind, and we were able to meet the dolphins close to the shore, but there were some people who got seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to prepare accordingly. Also, even on sunny days with strong sunlight, when you get back on the boat after being in the water, the wind can feel cold, so I think women should either rent a wetsuit ($10) or bring something to cover up.

イルカもカメも熱帯魚も見ることができました。
特にカメと熱帯魚は、かなり近くで見ることができました。
防水カメラを持って行ったのですが、イルカを見るときには多少の不安もあって持たずに海へ入りました。しかし、やっぱり撮影しておけば良かったかな。
イルカにもカメにも、あまり泳がずに会うことができましたが、マリンスポーツは疲れてしまい、見ているだけになってしまいました。
見ているだけでも楽しかったです。
プロのカメラマンが撮影した写真は、DVDとCD-ROMでの販売で、ツアーで一緒になった人全員分込みで60ドルだったかな…。
よく撮れた自分たちの写真だけ、とかなら購入を検討したのですが、お値段もそこそこするし、見ず知らずの人が写っていても…ということで購入しませんでした。
個別の写真販売があったら良いのになぁ。
風もほとんどなく、岸から近い場所ですぐにイルカと会えた日だったのですが船酔いしている人もいたので、酔い止めが必要な人は用意した方がよいかもしれません。
また、晴れて日差しが強い日でも、海から上がって船が動くと風が冷たく感じるので、女性はウェットスーツ(10ドル)を借りるか、羽織るものを持って行った方がよいと思います。
