This is my first trip to Hawaii for a 3-night, 5-day company trip.
Since it's only 3 nights, I thought it would be a waste not to make the most of it! So, I decided to challenge myself to surfing starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived!!!
It's my first time surfing.
The instructor only spoke in English, so to be honest, I was quite nervous...
But with simple Japanese, they guided me to paddle and stand up, saying things like "OK!!!!"
However, they pushed me at the right timing with the waves, so even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up!!
It was so moving!!! So much fun...!!
After returning to Japan, I can't forget that joy, and I'm planning to start surfing!
3泊5日の 社員旅行で 初の HAWAIです。
3泊だから もったいない!!遊び倒さなきゃって 思い
到着した日の 午後から サーフィンに 挑戦!!!
初の サーフィンです。
インストラクターが 英語でしか しゃべれないから 正直
かなりあせりましたが・・・・
簡単な日本語で 漕いで漕いで 立って立って
OK!!!!見たいな感じで・・・
でも うまいこと 波のタイミングで 押してくれるから
初めてなのに 立てることが出来ました!!
感動!!!たのしい・・・・!!
日本に帰ってから あの 楽しさが 忘れらんなくて
はじめるつもりでーす!!

Both of us being over 50 and not in the best of shape, we had some trepidations about being 500 feet up. Nothing to worry about. First rate captain and crew. Excellent experience. Do be sure to take the dunk at the end and get the pictures.

We participated in the dolphin encounter as a family!
It was really great!
The bilingual female instructor was very helpful, and there were no inconveniences at all (o^∇^o).
We drove to Sea Life Park with our rental car, and it was a relaxing trip with no traffic, so we enjoyed the drive!
Since we participated with our one-year-old child, I was initially wondering, "Will this be okay?"
But our child seemed to have a lot of fun touching and kissing the dolphinsヾ(*´∀`*)ノ.
I highly recommend it for families too (´∀`).
ファミリーでドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました!
とっても良かったです!
バイリンガルな女性インストラクターで、
全く不便も無かったです(o^∇^o)
送迎なしで、レンタカーでのんびり家族で

ドライブも楽しめましたよ!
1歳の子供と参加したので、初めは「大丈夫かな?」と、
思っていましたが、
楽しそうにイルカにタッチ&キスしてましたヾ(*´∀`*)ノ

This was our first Luau and we enjoyed it immensely. Our guide, Jackie, kept the whole group entertained during the bus ride to the luau.
We enjoyed all of the pre-meal activites, and thought mthe food was very good. The after dinner show was beyond our expectations.

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. It's no surprise that there are many repeat visitors. The guide, Mr. Yamazaki, provided insights that allowed us to view Hawaii and Japan from various perspectives, which was truly inspiring. It was like a school trip for adults.
The woman who guided us also recommended some great shops, and I was able to buy some satisfying souvenirs. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I definitely want to participate again!
初めてのハワイでしたが、このツアーに申し込んで本当に良かったです。
リピーターの方が多いのも頷けます。
案内をして下さる山崎さんのお話はハワイと日本をいろんな角度で見直すことが出来て、刺激されました。正に大人の修学旅行です。
一緒に案内をしてくださった女性の方にお勧めのお店を教えてもらって納得のいく記念品を買うことが出来ました。
たくさんの思い出をありがとうございます。
また絶対に参加したいです!

As soon as we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I experienced it together. It was definitely expensive! But the scenery and the ocean were beautiful, and we could see Diamond Head clearly.
There were mostly white tourists, and the instructors couldn't speak Japanese. However, the explanations were easy to understand, so we could enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My friend and I were the only Japanese people there, but that made me feel like I was really on a trip, which was great.
ハワイに着いて早々、友人と二人で体験しました。
確かに高い!でも景色も海もきれいでダイヤモンドヘッドもしっかり見えます。
白人の観光客の方ばかりで、インストラクターも日本語は使えません。でも説明はわかりやすいし安心して体験できます。
日本人は私と友人だけでしたが、それが私にとっては旅行にきたぞっていう感じで良かったです。

This is my second time taking surfing lessons here, and rather than wanting to take the lessons, I join the class for safety reasons in various ways when I'm alone. It can be dangerous with rocks and coral, but the instructors keep an eye on us and teach us. If you zone out, you might get scolded...
The photographer is capturing the lesson scenes, so if you're interested in having a memory, you can purchase them. By the way, it was about $30 plus tax for one lesson's worth.
こちらでサーフィンレッスンを受けるのは2回目で、レッスンを受けたいというより、いろんな意味で安全なので、ひとりのときは必ずクラスに入ってます。岩やサンゴで危なかったりもしますよね、ちゃんと先生が見張ってて教えてくれます。ぼーっとしてると、叱られたりもしますけど・・・
カメラマンさんが、レッスン風景を撮影してくれてますので、思い出に・・・と思う方は購入出来ますョ。ちなみに、1レッスン分入ってて30ドル+税ぐらいでした。

We participated as a family of six. This was my second time parasailing, but everyone else was experiencing it for the first time. The women were particularly scared, but once we were up in the air, we were all amazed to see the city of Waikiki from nearly 100 meters high! The feeling of flying over the deep blue sea was truly indescribable. The staff were all cheerful and playful, which helped ease our nerves, and we appreciated that.
家族6名で参加しました。
私自身はパラセイリング2度目でしたが、あとは皆初体験。女性陣は特に怖がっていましたが、いざ上空へ上がると100m近い高さからワイキキの街が一望できてみんな大感激!
真っ青な海の上を飛ぶ気分は、まさに筆舌に尽くしがたい体験でした。
スタッフもみんな陽気でお茶目で、緊張を解きほぐしてくれて嬉しかったです。

My husband and I went parasailing for the 1st time.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING WE DID WHILE WE WERE IN OAHU!
There were 3 men who took us to this extreme ride.
(A captain, a parasail instructor, and another guy who helped) and they were all awsome! Very friendly, knowledgable guys who made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The parasail instructor, we forgot his name, also took our pics from the boat while we were on the ride and after developing them, took some great shots! He was great! By the way, they will offer to take a roll of pics for you and it's $15 for the whole 24 exposure film.
Some reviews seem to complain about tipping and how they felt uncomfortable that there were signs up almost begging for tips. It was totally not like that in our case. Sure, it did say "TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME" butin no way did it seem unappropriate. They totally deserved our tip!
The ride itself was breathtaking... we went so high up (1000 ft, i beleive? it

I went to PCC with my hubby and his family who are originally from Fiji. This was a lot of fun for my son and I and I learned quite a bit about my hubby's culture and the culture of surrounding islands.
The Samoan village was a lot more laid back than the other villages. They really try to get a laugh out of you. I don't remember the guys name... but he talked about his culture and he was making little jokes left and right.
The Fijian village was a lot more serious but just as fun. The did a lot of dances for us and even brought my mother-in-law on stage to dance with them. My son and I got fake Fijian tattoos that meant "warrior" and "queen" and since my hubby used to work at PCC we got a personal tour from him and his old boss.
The night show was very entertaining. Especially at the end with the Samoans brought the fire into the show.
I would definitely go again. We had a blast.

This was my absolute favorite activity that I did in Hawaii. My husband and I were there for two weeks and did a lot and the ATV tour was by FAR our favorite.
The views from valley were unlike anything I had ever seen. If your looking for something to take your breath away Kualoa Ranch is where it's at. While there it was raining, which made it more fun. On that side of the island it rains a bit so be prepared for it. I believe they have ponchos there if you want them. But my hubby and I didn't and we got soaked which was fine by us.
Driving around in the ATVs was exciting. It was my hubby's first time riding one and he had a little trouble. But the instructors were friendly and took him under their wing a bit. After the two hours of amazing views and seeing all the wildlife they took us too a little field and let just drive around which was a lot of fun.
I will do this again on my next trip for sure.

I was travelling alone, but with all the cousins I met I had a blast. Even the bus ride to Paradise Cove was fun because cousin Trina was awesome! I enjoyed all of the activities and the show was great. The property is georgeous and beautiful sunset photos here. I payed for the Deluxe VIP package and was happy with it because as soon as I was at my table I didn't have to leave. I was brought my very tasty dinner to my table, as well as drinks whenever I needed. I would definately recommend this especially for groups or people celebrating something. I want to go to Paradise Cove again!

This time, participating in the Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show was a truly memorable day. As mentioned in the title, there was a bit of a mishap. The bus was supposed to pick us up from the hotel for the tour, but we completely misunderstood the meeting point for tomorrow's tour and ended up at the gathering place for the Hyatt Regency at 4 PM instead of Ohana Waikiki West! Well, since the tour bus had arrived there before 4 PM, we were waiting in line without any worries, but the guide seemed to notice something was off. It was then that we realized we had made a mistake and hurried to Ohana! Half of us ran, while the other half lagged behind! It turned out that the bus was indeed for that tour… The latecomers managed to get on the bus, while half of us didn’t.
Somehow, we managed to get on the bus and became quite famous among the passengers. Most of the participants were foreigners, and since the guide didn't speak Japanese, that added to the confusion. However, since we were in a foreign country, we wanted to be as far away from Japanese people as possible. Everyone was friendly, and even with broken English, it was more than enough! The attractions before dinner and the show were also great. We got to ride in a canoe, make head leis, and play around with various activities. Before we knew it, it was time for the show!
The show was incredibly impressive. We are quite familiar with Hawaii (having been there 7 or 8 times), but this was a really good tour with rich content that allowed us to enjoy both the foreign atmosphere and Hawaii. I think it’s a fantastic tour. On the way back, they even took photos for us until the very end. That’s probably why so many foreigners gather for it. I would love to participate again.
今回、このルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショーに参加させて頂きとても思い出になる一日でした。タイトルにある様にハプニングというのは、ツアー参加のためにホテルまでバスで迎えに来て貰えるのですが、なんと私達は明日のツアーの集まる所と全く勘違いをしていて私達は4時にオハナワイイキキウエストなのにハイアットリージェンシーの集まり場に来てしまっていて!まぁそこに4時前にそのツアーのバスは来ていた為、何も気にせずに並んでたのですがガイドさんが何かおかしい様子。そこで私達も集まる所を間違ったと気づき急いでオハナへ!が我々の半分は走り、半分は少し出遅れ!所がそのバスはそのツアーのバスだった様で…。出遅れチームはバスに乗れ、半分は…。
とか何とかでなんだカンダでバスに乗れ一躍バスの中では有名人。そう、なんとこのツアーはほとんどが外人。ガイドも日本語通じないのでこんな事に。が、やはり海外に来たからには日本人とはなるべく離れたい。皆フレンドリーで片言英語でも十分!また内容も夕食&ショーの前のアトラクションがまたいい。カヌーに乗ったり頭のレイやプレス、色々遊んでくれました。あっという間に時間がたちショーの時間!
これまた迫力ありあり。私たちは結構ハワイのリピーターですが(7.8回)行ってますが。なかなか良いツアーで内容濃いし外国またハワイを堪能でき、すごく良いツアーだと思います。帰りも最後まで写真の対応をしてくれたり。だからこそ外国の方々も集まるのだろう。また参加したいです。

During a company trip to Hawaii, I had been there a few times before, but for others, it was their first time. So, we decided to book parasailing, something we could all enjoy together for the first time.
We went quite far out, and the boat was pretty fast, but I didn't feel seasick at all! There was one American family besides us. A really cute little girl (maybe around 5 years old?) looked scared at first as she went up with her dad, but when they came back, she was all smiles!
We rode on a sort of two-person bench and went really high up, which allowed us to see quite far into the mountains—it felt great! When we came down, before returning to the boat, the staff played their usual prank of dipping just our bottoms in the sea, which was quite cold, but it was fun to take pictures of that moment from the boat.
Also, I was thrilled when dolphins swam around us after we went out! That's Hawaii for you! We all happily took pictures together. I think it's a great activity for families, even with small children, and I would recommend it to those who aren't into intense activities!
社員旅行で訪れたハワイ、私は何度か来たことがありましたが、他の人は初めてだったので、何かみんなで楽しめるものを、ということで、初めてこちらのパラセイリングを予約しました。
だいぶ沖に出るのですが、結構船のスピードは速いです。でも酔うようなことはありませんでした☆
私たち以外にはアメリカ人のご家族が1組。すごく可愛い女の子(まだ5歳くらいかな?)も最初は怖そうにパパと上がっていきましたが、帰ってきたときにはニッコニコでした!
二人がけのベンチのようなものに乗って、かなり高くまで上がるので、結構遠くの山が見えて気持ちがよかったです♪
下に降りてきたときは、船に戻る前にスタッフがお決まりのいたずらで、おしりだけ海にちょっとつけられるので、結構冷たいですが、その瞬間を船から写真で撮りあったりして面白かったです。
また、沖に出てからイルカが周りを泳いでくれたのに感動!さすがハワイ!みんなで喜んで写真を撮りました☆
小さい子供さんがいても家族で楽しめるし、激しいアクティビティが苦手な方にもお勧めだと思います♪
