Get on a large boat with about 30 to 40 people to enjoy 20 minutes of live music as it takes us to our destination near the sandbar, then get off the boat and swim over to 4 possible activities:
(1) snorkeling
(2) kayaking
(3) paddle boarding
(4) sunbathing on a floating platform
Lunch is a turkey/cheese croissant sandwich with chips and a drink. I had great fun doing both kayaking and paddle boarding but I didn't do snorkeling. Word of advice - swim fast to either paddle board or kayak otherwise you'll have to wait about an hour for one to be available (first come first serve). Ultimately, everyone had a chance to do all activities but whichever one you are most looking forward to doing - hit it first! NOTE: water is deep in most places so even though you are wearing a lifevest, your feet will not touch the ground - it's not dangerous as there's no heavy surf but I don't want non swimmers to be surprised or panic.

Unless we go to Polynesian Cultural Center, we have found Paradise Cove to be the best! Over the years, it has gotten quite a bit more expensive, and does less than it used to (welcome picture with dancers), but is still a great show, great property, and really good food. The imu ceremony is as good as you'll get anywhere on the island.

We had so much fun riding our UTVs. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and it was definitely our favorite activity from our trip to Hawaii. We had worn clothes that could get muddy (as we read in the description) but we had no mud, in fact it was a little dusty. This is all just dependent on weather. We would do this again if we go back to Oahu.

My 7-year-old son was thrilled to try zip-lining in Japan, so we decided to challenge ourselves with our first zip-line experience abroad in Hawaii. The reservation process was smooth, and on the day of the activity, we enjoyed six runs with a group of people from overseas. There were two instructors, both of whom were very lively, and my son had a great time throughout. While other zip-line locations in Hawaii have age and weight restrictions, I think this place is kind in many ways and offers a lot of fun.
7歳の息子が日本でジップラインをやって大喜びしたので.ハワイでもチャレンジしてみようと、海外では初めてのジップラインに行ってみました。
予約から当日までスムーズで現地では、海外の方々と同じグループで6本の滑走を楽しみました。

ハワイの他の場所のジップラインは年齢や体重で参加出来ないところがある中で、ここは色々な意味で親切だと思いますし、とても楽しめると思います。

When I arrived at the counter at the scheduled time, a very pleasant woman assisted me. She spoke a little Japanese, but primarily in English. While we waited for our departure, she engaged my child by talking about the crabs and fish, which was nice. I really enjoyed the parasailing experience! The view from 150 meters above the sea was a rare experience that only those who fly can see. I rated it ⭐︎4 because two men on the boat were a bit too businesslike and I thought they could have been more enthusiastic, but I definitely recommend trying parasailing! I put my smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around my neck with a strap, capturing the views and videos from above. If you're comfortable letting go with one hand, it makes for a great memory!

I took a taxi near the Hilton, but it took some time to find the small ticket booth at the designated location. However, the receptionist was very kind. I arrived earlier than the scheduled time but had to wait. There were ten people at a time, and it was just the four of us along with three foreign couples. We went out to sea by boat, and once the ropes were set, we were able to go parasailing one after another. They helped us with the belt setup inside the boat, and when we flew, we could either land in the water up to our bottoms and be brought back to the boat or just get our toes wet and be lowered into the boat, so my upper body didn’t get wet at all. I didn’t have a change of clothes, so I changed at Ala Moana. You can bring a change bag onto the boat. Since there were four of us in the family and the child is in elementary school, we did it in groups of three. It was special because the child was able to go twice in a row, and they were very satisfied.

A 90-minute tour through the jungle of Kualoa Ranch.
You get to ride in a vehicle that can handle the large mountain roads as you explore Kualoa Ranch. The driver explains everything in English, and once you pass through the jungle, you can see breathtaking views.
There are multiple photo opportunities at scenic points, so I took a lot of pictures.
The ride was quite bumpy and fast, making it feel like an attraction.
If I had to point out something, it mentioned in the list of items for this tour that a photo of a Japanese driver's license or passport would be acceptable. I brought my driver's license, but it was rejected by the staff as ID, so I wish they had specified that a driver's license was not acceptable.

You can bring a small bag, like a backpack, onto the boat and keep it under the seat. I took motion sickness medication, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and I ended up feeling sick. My husband and child seemed to be fine. After parasailing, I felt seasick for about half a day, but even considering that, it was a wonderful opportunity that you don't get to experience often.
リュック程度の小さなカバンは船に持ち込むことができ、椅子の下に置いておけます。酔い止めを飲みましたが、船はかなり揺れるので、酔ってしまいました。主人と子供は大丈夫そうでした。パラセイリング後、船酔いで半日くらい辛かったですが、それを差し引いても、なかなか体験できない素晴らしい機会でした。

I participated with my elementary school child. There is a reception at the Hilton Hawaiian Village beach, so when we went there, we were told to head to the boat dock at the end of the pier. It was close, and since that was the only option, it was easy to find our way.
There were about 30 participants in the tour at the same time. First, we took a boat out to sea and then transferred to a submarine. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery during the boat ride was very beautiful and enjoyable.
The submarine experience was relatively monotonous, but I was satisfied because we were able to see sharks and rays.
小学生の子供と二人で参加しました。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのビーチに受付があるのでそこへ行くと、桟橋の先の船乗り場に行くように言われました。近いし、それしかないので、迷いようもなく簡単でした。

This was my first time participating in seven years, and this time I brought my children aged 2, 5, and 9. The parasol we rented couldn't be used due to strong winds. Well, that was the same as seven years ago.
I really wanted my 9-year-old son to succeed at snorkeling, but he got scared and gave up.
I think the shuttle service was around $45 seven years ago, but now the price is almost double.
Overall, I felt it wasn't suitable for families with small children, but since this is our family's situation, I will give it 4 stars.

However, they ended up being the two activities we least enjoyed. Riders of these two activities are of various ages and the lack of consideration for that was disappointing. The woman that "drove" the boat sped off the from the boarding so fast that are necks jerked back so hard that we were sore the next day. During the ride, we tried to get her attention several timers to slow down because some of us were almost thrown off the boat.

This boating adventure was a fun day for our 3 generational family of 15 people ages 8 to 70. The crew was friendly and very helpful, and even had a table reserved for us so that we could all sit together on the way out to the sandbar. The music was exceptional with professional musicians...ukulele and singing. The boat is big and holds a lot of people comfortably. When we got to the sandbar, we were a bit disappointed that they required everyone to wear a life jacket, and there was no deep water snorkeling. I have been out to this area a few years earlier with a different company that took us to a beautiful snorkel area that I had hyped up to my family, so it was a disappointment that his was not the same place. That is the only reason it is not the highest rating. But we soon got over it, and enjoyed a shallow snorkel, and found that the life jackets worked quite well for the shallow water adventure. The snorkel disappointment was made up for by the kayaks, sups, and volleyball play on the sandbar. The weather cooperated that day, and everyone had a blast. We would do it again, although not it was not really a snorkel boat. Many thanks to the staff and crew for all of their efforts.

We participated as a couple, and although we don't speak much English, it wasn't a problem at all. The reservation confirmation emails were all in English, but with Google Translate, we were able to understand the meeting location perfectly. We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to the nearest stop and walked about five minutes to the port. (By the way, a local Japanese person informed us that Google Maps provides the most accurate bus schedules and stop locations, and they were right—it was very convenient.)
The boat is named Moana, and there is a tour sign in front of the boat, making it easy to find. However, as others have mentioned, we had to wait about 20 minutes from the meeting time, which made us a bit anxious. (Most participants arrived more than 15 minutes late. Is it just Japanese people who are punctual? Haha.)
Once the tour started, the explanations were only in English, but I understood that we shouldn't go to the back of the boat, we should keep a certain distance if turtles approach, and when the staff called out "Moana," we should board the boat. I could only understand these points, but it wasn't a problem at all.
We were able to see many turtles up close! There were also five or six other tour boats in the same area, with dozens of people entering the water, so it was a bit challenging to swim without bumping into others. However, there were plenty of turtles to see, and it was adorable to watch them come up to the surface for air. We also saw several types of fish.
Just keep in mind that it wasn't the colorful small fish swarming around the coral that you might typically imagine with snorkeling; it was primarily a turtle-focused tour, so it's best to go with that understanding.
Similar tours with Japanese-speaking staff seem to cost around $120, but if the content is not significantly different, I think this tour is a great deal.
Overall, we were very satisfied!
夫婦で参加し、英語はほぼできませんがほとんど問題ありませんでした。
予約連絡メールもすべて英語ですが、Google翻訳でしっかり集合場所も分かるので、ワイキキのホテルからザバスで最寄りまで行き、港を5分ほど歩いて到着しました。(ちなみに、ザバスの時刻表やバス停の場所はGoogleの経路検索が一番正確だと現地の日本人に教えていただき、その通りですごく便利でした。)
モアナという名前の船で、船の前にツアーの看板も出てるのでわかりやすいです。
ただ、他の方も書いているように集合時間から20分ほど待たされたので少々不安にはなりました。(そもそも参加者もほとんど15分以上遅れてきました。時間守るのは日本人ぐらいなんでしょうか?笑)
ツアーが始まってからも英語のみの説明ですが、船の後ろには行かないこと、亀が近づいてきても一定の距離を取ること、スタッフが「モアナー」と呼び込みかけたら船に上がること、ぐらいしか理解できなかったですが何ら問題なかったです。
実際に亀を間近でたくさん見れました!
他のツアーの船も5,6隻同じ同じ場所でそれぞれ数十人が海に入るので人にぶつからないように泳ぐのが少し大変ですが、何匹も亀がいるのでしっかり見ることができました。海面に息継ぎに上がってくるのが可愛かったです。
他にも数種類のお魚も見ることができました。
ただ、よくシュノーケルでイメージする色とりどりの小魚が珊瑚に群がるような感じではないので、あくまで亀主体のツアーという理解で行かれた方が良いです。
日本語スタッフがいる類似ツアーは120ドルするようですが、もしも内容にあまり差がないようならとてもお得だと思いました。
全体的には満足です!

Me and my wife did this for the first time ever… it was a great experience… Hawaiian Parasail is the one to choose when doing this … everyone was great… easy place to find and very helpful and smooth check in… right next to the Hilton Hawaiian Village… just amazing views on the 1000 ft option… the guys on the boat knew what they were doing and did a great job… we would choose them again in a second…!!!!!!

In the morning, we had a cruise, followed by a location tour in the afternoon. The cruise involved transferring from a bus to a boat, and then to the cruise ship. On the cruise ship, there was an entertaining aspect where we got splashed with waves before reaching the turnaround point, and if you’re at the bow on the first floor, you will get soaked. Even on the second floor bow, you will get quite wet, so I think it’s fine to enjoy it there knowing that.
The lunch buffet was typically American and quite hearty, but we could also enjoy juice, fruits, lemon cake, and chocolate chip cookies. The movie location tour provided information in English about where filming took place, but it was in a field… and I dozed off a bit due to the bumps in the car. At the end, we had 10 minutes to take photos at a location with many fossil-like features.
The return bus started check-in after 3 PM, and we departed early, which was good since there wasn’t much to do. Overall, it was a fun day, and the guide was cheerful, making it a great experience.
午前中にクルーズ、午後からロケ地ツアーでした。
クルーズは初めにバス移動→舟→クルーズ船と乗り換えしていきます。
クルーズ船では折返し地点前から激しく波のしぶきを浴びるエンターテイメント性があり、一階の船首にいるとびしょ濡れになります。二階の船首でもかなりビショビショになりますので、それを承知で船首で楽しむもよしだと思います。
ランチブッフェはアメリカらしい大味ですが、ジュース、果物やレモンケーキ、チョコチップクッキーなども食べれます。
映画ロケ地ツアーは英語でここで撮影された〜等の案内がありますが、そこは原っぱで…車の揺れでウトウトしてしまいました。最後は化石風のものがたくさんの撮影場所で10分間各々撮影。
帰りのバスは15時すぎにはチェックインが始まりら早めに出発しました。することがなかったので、これはよかったです。
いずれも楽しく、案内役の方も陽気でよい一日となりました。

Absolutely loved and enjoyed this experience. It was my husband’s first time, and he had the time of his life. This experience would have been nothing without the zip lining associates that were so professional, yet encouraging and light hearted at the same time! Special shoutout to Reagan & Shiloh, what an awesome crew! I forgot the guys name but he was great too, made some funny jokes on our atv ride out to the zip lines. Speaking of zip lines, such a fun experience and a great workout might I add. If you have a fear of heights that you want to get over, then this zip lining crew is the one you want!!
PS, if you’re driving from Wakiki to this place, be prepared to be blown away with some breathtaking views of the island!

The reception staff at the office had no issues communicating in Japanese and were very polite. While waiting on the boat, seasickness, direct sunlight, and the long waiting time can be quite challenging. Make sure to take thorough sun protection measures. The staff on the boat spoke broken Japanese (mostly English, but it was manageable).
Parasailing can make you feel a bit nauseous, but it was quite thrilling. Riding the jet ski was super fun. For the bumper tube, it might be a good idea to put a Band-Aid on your forearms.
If you want to purchase all the photos and videos taken during the attractions, it will cost $110. I bought them, and they will send the data via email.
事務所の受付対応は日本語で問題ありませんでした。丁寧な対応でした。船上待機ですが、船酔いと直射日光と放置時間もなかなか長いです。日焼け対策を万全に。船上スタッフは片言日本語(ほぼ英語ですが何とかなります)
パラセーリングはちょっと酔うようですがなかなか怖かったです。水上バイクは超楽しかった。バンパーチューブは肘下にバンドエイドを貼っとくといいかもしれません。
アトラクション中の写真、動画を全て購入するなら110$かかります。購入しました。データをメールでくれます。
