I experienced parasailing.
I was anxious due to my fear of heights, but up in the sky, it was calm, and I was very satisfied with the magnificent view. Since transportation is included, it's reassuring even for beginners in Hawaii. The total time is about 2 hours, so it doesn't interfere with other plans. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up for this tour and recommend it to my friends.
However, there is one point to note. That is seasickness. I am prone to seasickness, so the rocking of the boat while others were parasailing was tough. Motion sickness medication is a must.
パラセーリングを体験してきました。
高所恐怖症のため不安がありましたが、空の上は穏やかで、壮大な景色にとても満足しました。
送迎付なので、ハワイ初心者でも安心です。
時間も正味2時間程度なので、他の予定の邪魔になりません。
またハワイに行く機会があればぜひ申し込みたいですし、友人にも紹介したいツアーです。
ただ、一つだけ注意点があります。
それは、船酔いです。
元々船酔いするタイプでしたので、他の方がパラセーリングしている間の船の揺れは辛かったです。
酔い止めの薬は必須です。

It was really great!
I participated with my boyfriend, who usually dislikes tours, but he was very satisfied! The reason is that the staff's service was wonderful! Of course, we also got to meet the dolphin teacher, and it was the most fun memory of our six-night trip to Hawaii!
I definitely plan to participate again next time I go.
After returning to Japan, I recommended it to all my friends! Next time, I will join with a group!
ホントによかったです♪
彼と2人で参加したのですが、ツアー嫌いの彼も大満足♪♪その理由は、スタッフの方の対応が素晴らしかったです!もちろんイルカ先生にも会えたし、6泊のハワイ旅行の中でも一番楽しい思い出です♪
今度行った時も絶対参加しようと思います。
日本に帰ってきて、友達みんなにお勧めしちゃいました♪今度はグループで参加させてもらいます★

One thing I absolutely wanted to do in Hawaii was swim with dolphins. I participated alone, but most of the group consisted of couples, families, and friends, with one parent-child pair who were six years old. It was Silver Week, so there were more participants than usual, around 30 people.
The tour starts with malasadas from Leonard's Bakery. I felt a sense of superiority eating without waiting in line! And they were incredibly delicious!! After a little nap in the car, we arrived at the port and boarded the boat. We quickly spotted a pod of dolphins! We got close to them by boat and then entered the water. Although we had to swim, I got to meet the dolphin teachers. It was so moving!! Since we were swimming in deep water, I couldn't take good photos, but there were quite a few dolphins, so I enjoyed it multiple times.
Next, we moved to a different location for snorkeling. They provided food, so colorful fish gathered around us. You can also enjoy paddle surfing and kayaking. Just when we were getting hungry, cheeseburgers were served. They were delicious too!
Finally, we all danced together and took a group photo.
It was an early morning, but the tour was very satisfying as it offered not only dolphins but a variety of fun activities.
ハワイに行ってこれだけは絶対やりたい!と思っていたのがイルカです。
私は一人参加でしたが、カップルや夫婦、友達同士がほとんどで、6才の親子が一組いました。シルバーウィークのためふだんより参加者が多かったそうで、30人くらいでした。
ツアーはまず、レナーズベーカリーのマラサダで始まります。みんなが並んでいるところを、並ばず食べられる優越感!しかもめちゃおいしい!!
そして車にゆられひと眠りしたところで港につき船に乗り込みます。
すぐにイルカの群れを発見!
船で近くまで行って、海に入ります。泳がないといけないですが、イルカ先生に逢えました。感動です!!深いところを泳いでいたので写真はうまく撮れませんでしたが、けっこうな数いたので何回も楽しめました。
続いては場所を移動して、シュノーケリングへ。餌付けをしてくれるので、カラフルな魚たちがたくさん集まってきます。パドルサーフィンやカヤックを楽しむこともできます。
そしてお腹がすいたところで、チーズバーガーの登場です。これもおいしかった~
最後はみんなで踊って集合写真。
朝早いですが、イルカだけでなくイロイロ楽しませてくれて大満足なツアーでした。

This luau was really fun and I am glad we chose it over the PCC so we could have the real mai tai's! Our guide (cousin Kahale) was a hoot! He made the trip so enjoyable and deserves a raise. We got stuck in traffic so it took forecer to get there and then we were rushed to try and do the activities which were just hum drum to begin with. But the absolutely stunning scenery on the beach where it is located is to die for and made up for the lack of interest in activities. I enjoyed the food and the show very much and would defiantely go back and take the whole family.

The Sunset Dinner Cruise was a pleasant experience and we would recommend this event to anyone who would ask and/or we knew that were planning a visit to Oahu.
The food was served hot and was excellent. The entertainment was fair. The Cruise along the coast line was fantastic. The crew was courteous, professional, and informative.
Based on the time of the year, the only thing that I would recommend is that the dinner should start a little earlier so that you have more time on deck to view the sites and take a lot of photographs since night falls pretty quick.
Yes, we would do this again on our next trip to Oahu.

We reviewed this Luau on the internet prior to our arrival and felt that this was the one and we were sincerely not disappointed. In fact, this was our second Luan during our stay and I assure you that this one is and was the best.
Not only was our Luau experience the best the drive to and from the event on bus #5 was fantastic. The driver was U and the guide/orator was Pompani (I think). You should have at least ten (10) Pompani’s since he made the experience a time to remember.
He was courteous, experienced, and a real performer. He was able to make the trip to and from one to remember. In addition the Luau, performance, food, and location were fantastic. We would sincerely recommend this to anyone that we will interface with if they want places to go on their Hawaiian vacation.
Please let Pompani know that he made the evening one to remember and do whatever it takes to keep him on your staff.

I took a surfing lesson using an extra-large surfboard, and I was able to stand up on my first try as if it were the most natural thing. The slogan is "Even beginners can stand up," so maybe that's to be expected, but it felt a bit too easy from the start, which was a bit of a letdown.
The lesson was just a 5-minute walk from the shop, and the 2 hours flew by. However, since we were learning right above a coral reef, I was really focused on not falling. My husband ended up injuring his foot.
But I was happy that we were able to get some photos taken. I thought the $30 for the CD was a reasonable price.

Recently, I participated with three friends. Perhaps because the waves were a bit high, the dolphins didn't swim close to us at first. After several attempts, we were finally able to swim with the dolphins on the last try. It seems they were cautious because they had a baby dolphin with them.
After that, we went to the snorkeling point, but there weren't many unusual fish that day, and the high waves made it feel like we might get seasick just floating in the water, so everyone decided to head back early.
One of my friends completely got seasick. They had prepared hamburgers for us, but while they were getting ready, the boat stopped, and it rocked a lot due to the waves. We all ended up not being able to enjoy the hamburgers and took them back to the hotel instead. The special taro bread hamburger was very delicious, but the seasickness was really tough, so I think it would be more enjoyable if the boat could keep moving during lunch.
The hula lesson afterward was pleasant and fun. I would love to repeat this experience if I have the chance again.
先日、友人と4人で参加させていただきました。
ちょっと波が高かったせいか、イルカは最初全然そばを泳いでくれなく、
何回か飛び込んだあと、最後の1回でイルカと共に泳ぐことができました。
どうやら赤ちゃんイルカを連れていて警戒心が強かったそうです。
その後、シュノーケリングポイントにも行ったのですが、この日はあまり珍しい魚がいなかったのと、やはり波が高くて水に浮いてるだけで酔いそうだったのでみんな早々に引き上げた感じでした。
友人のうちの1人は完全に船酔いでダウン。
ハンバーガーを用意してくれていたのですが、その食事の準備の最中から船が停泊してしまったので、思い切り波に船が揺れてしまい、私達は全員ハンバーガーどころではなく、結局持ち帰ってホテルでいただきました。
特製タロイモパンのハンバーガーということでとてもおいしかったのですが、ちょっとあの船酔いはホントにきついので
出来れば、船は停泊せずに進みながらお昼にしてもらえればもう少し楽しめるかなって思います。
その後のフラレッスンも気持ちよくて楽しかったです。
また機会があったらリピートしてみたいです。

I went sightseeing in the morning, and after shopping in the afternoon, I joined this cruise. It was interesting to experience a catamaran rather than a regular yacht, so I'm glad I did. One hour felt just right for a cruise—not too long. The boat was quite luxurious. The view of the land from the sea was great, and the ocean was beautiful and refreshing. I really enjoyed it.

Actually, I had never been on a cruise before, and my first cruise turned out to be in Hawaii. I thought a smaller boat would be better than a big ship, so we discussed it and chose this cruise from the website. The catamaran also felt very Hawaiian.
It was my first experience feeling how nice it is to sail through the sea with the sea breeze. Looking at the land from the sea gave me a strange feeling, like, "Oh, I was just over there, and now I'm looking at it from the water." The crew members were very kind and made it enjoyable for us.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed. Next time, I definitely want to join a sunset cruise plan.
実は今までクルーズってしたことがなく、初めてのクルーズがハワイになってしまったんです。大きな船よりも小さいボートっぽいのがいいな、と思ってみんなで相談してホームページからこのクルーズを選びました。カタマラン船っていうのもハワイっぽかったし。
潮風を受けて海を進むのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて初めての体験でした。海から陸を眺めるのも、「ああ、さっきまであそこにいたのに、今は海から眺めているんだな」って不思議な感覚でした。船員のスタッフの方々がとても親切で楽しませてくれました。
あっという間に1時間が経ってしまいました。
今度は是非夕日を眺めるクルーズプランに参加したいです。

I loved the Paradise Cove Luau! It's location is beautiful! A sunset party on a private beach is a great way to start off your Hawaiian vacation! I went to the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center years ago, and the festivities were very nice, but there were no cocktails, and no beach. At Paradise Cove, it really felt like a party. I even got a Hula certificate for coming on stage to learn! We booked the Orchid (middle) level, and it seemed just right. I love the orchid leis that we received. If there was one thing I would like to change, it was that even though 3 drinks were "included" in my package, almost every drink still cost $1-$6 extra. I expected only to pay gratuity out-of-pocket when I got there. Overall, though, I had a great time!

I was a bit anxious after reading that there were mostly English speakers and few Japanese participants, but the staff explained things in broken Japanese, which was helpful. Although the conversations on the bus were mostly in English, they provided a schedule in Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
In the session I attended, there were three groups of Japanese participants. Even though I don't understand English at all, I was able to enjoy the overseas atmosphere and had a valuable experience.
Before the show started, we had the opportunity to go canoeing and encountered sea turtles. It was a fun and delightful experience, including getting a tattoo.
There was also time to have a meal before the show began. The fried chicken was excellent. During the show, when my drink ran out, the staff kindly went to get more drinks, allowing me to fully enjoy the show at a leisurely pace.

When I arrived at the meeting time, I was informed that the departure would be delayed by an hour, so we ended up waiting around the hotel area. In the promotional photos, there was a large catamaran with blue sails from Outrigger, but the actual boat we boarded was a smaller catamaran with pink sails, and it felt more like a family cruise with three staff members and about ten participants.
It was disappointing that there were no life vests available and that fins couldn't be rented, which limited our snorkeling experience. However, it was great to see many turtles up close.
After that, we cruised about an hour offshore. The wind felt nice, and the color of the sea became increasingly vibrant and beautiful. We went as far as the lighthouse past Diamond Head. We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but the boat was quite rocky, and a few people got seasick. The staff was very kind and provided water and ice to those who were feeling unwell. Next time, I would like to join a tour that focuses solely on cruising.
当日集合時間に行くと、1時間遅れでの出発と案内され、ホテル周辺で時間をつぶしての出発となりました。イメージ写真では、アウトリガーの青い帆の大きい目のカタマランでしたが、実際に乗ったのは、ピンクの帆の小さめのカタマランで、スタップ3名と参加者は10名程度で家族クルーズのような小さいツアーとなりました。
ライフベストがなかったこと、足ひれがレンタルできないので思いっきりシュノーケルできないのは残念でした。ただ、たくさんのカメが近くで見れたのは良かったです。
その後は、1時間ほど沖までクルージングでした。風が気持よく、海の色がどんどん濃くなりとてもきれいでした。ダイアモンドヘッド先の灯台あたりまで行きました。私たちは酔い止めを飲んでいて大丈夫でしたが、揺れがすごくて数人の方が船酔いでダウンされていました。スタッフの対応はとても親切で体調の悪い方には、水や氷を渡したりされていました。次回は、クルージングのみのツアーに参加してみたいです。

I found this site before my trip, and it looked interesting, so I made a reservation and participated.
I had heard beforehand that there wouldn't be any Japanese participants, but I thought it would be fine and went without hesitation, only to find that we were indeed the only Japanese people there.
However, since everyone was just travelers from different places, we all got along well and enjoyed ourselves without much concern.
Personally, I can hardly speak English, but the staff member was friendly and nice, so I thoroughly enjoyed both the cruising and snorkeling!
The snorkeling spot was off the coast of Waikiki, about 10 meters deep, and there were plenty of fish and sea turtles.
I brought a waterproof digital camera, but I struggled to take good pictures of the sea turtles swimming nearby. Fortunately, a crew member who looked like a dolphin took some really beautiful photos for me.
There were no fins available for rent, just masks and snorkels, and swimming was limited to around the yacht, so it might not be enough for those who are into diving, but beginners can definitely have a great time (which was the case for my wife and me). Everyone participating was in the same boat.
After that, we enjoyed cruising while sailing back to Waikiki, heading towards Diamond Head.
This trip created unforgettable and enjoyable memories.
Since we finished around 10 AM, it was easy to plan our next activities.
I believe breakfast snacks were supposed to be included in the package, but we didn't quite understand the system and missed out. After we got back, we changed at the hotel and had breakfast (or maybe it was brunch?) at Island Vintage Cafe in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, enjoying acai bowls before heading out to Kailua.
You might want to double-check about breakfast???
Also, there are several Outrigger Hotels in Waikiki, so make sure not to confuse the meeting location... (we made that mistake).
Anyway, it was a fantastic time, and I highly recommend it!
旅行前にこのサイトで知って、面白そうなので予約して参加しました。
事前情報で、日本人の参加者がいないって聞いていたものの、なんとかなるかな~と思って、ためらわず行ってみたら、本当に日本人は僕たちだけでした。
しかし、まあ所詮みんないろんなとこからやってきた旅行者同士の似たもの同士なので、あんま気兼ねなく思い思いに楽しんでいます。
個人的に英語はほとんど喋れないけれど、スタッフの兄ちゃんが気さくでいい人だったので、クルージングとシュノーケリングともに満喫させていただきました!!
シュノーケリングのポイントはワイキキの沖、水深10mくらいで、魚や海亀がいっぱいいました。
防水デジカメ持参で行ったのですが、近くで泳ぐ海亀をなかなかうまく写真に収められず苦戦してたら、クリューのイルカみたいな兄ちゃんがすごく綺麗に撮ってくれました。
フィンのレンタルはなく、マスク、シュノーケルのみのレンタルでヨットの周りのみの遊泳なので、ダイビングやっている人には物足りないかもしれませんが、初心者でも十分楽しめます。(まさに今回の自分と妻がそうでした。まあ、参加している人みんな一緒です。)
その後はダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで帆走でクルージングを楽しみつつワイキキに戻りました。
今回の旅行の忘れられない楽しい思い出です。
午前10時上がりなので、その後の予定も組みやすいです。
パックに軽食の朝ごはんが付いているはずだったのですが、僕らはシステムがよくわからず食いそびれたので、上がった後、ホテルで着替えて、ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターのアイランドビンテージカフェでアサイボウルで朝食(?)を済ませて、カイルアに遊びに行きました。
朝食のとこは要確認かも???
あと、アウトリガーホテルはワイキキに何箇所かあるので、集合場所は間違えなきよう。。。。(うちは間違えた)
ともあれ、最高のひと時でした、かなりお勧めですよ!!

It was convenient to participate in the cruise from Waikiki.
No Japanese was understood at all.
The snorkeling time is about one hour.
There were no life jackets available for rent.
You can borrow something like a long tube.
On the way there, we saw a turtle, and on the way back, we saw dolphins.
I think it's good for those who understand English and are good at swimming.
ワイキキからクルーズできるのが便利で参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じません。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間位です。
ライフジャケットの貸し出しはありませんでした。
細長い筒のようなものは借りられます。
行きにはカメ、帰りにはイルカが見えました。
英語がわかって、泳ぎが得意の方には良いと思います。
