Oahu
In September, I participated with my family of three. I thought the sun would be strong during the day, so I made a reservation to match the sunset time. Before the horseback riding, the staff provides an explanation in English, but I think you can understand the atmosphere of the conversation just by watching their gestures. This time, there was one female staff member accompanying the three of us and one foreign woman, and we leisurely progressed along the coast and grassy areas. As I had heard, the horse would stop and eat grass along the way, but I think that, including those moments, it’s an activity you can enjoy and laugh about. Listening to the quiet sound of the waves, we were able to spend a pleasant time in a relaxed mood. Since it is away from Waikiki, I recommend this program if you have some flexibility in your schedule.
9月に家族3人で参加しました。日中は日差しが強いと思い、サンセットの時間に合わせて申し込みました。乗馬前にスタッフから英語で説明がありますが、ゼスチャーを見れば、話の雰囲気で何とか理解できると思います。今回は私たち3人と外人女性1名に女性スタッフが1名付いて、のんびりと海岸や草地を進む感じでした。聞いていた通り、途中で、馬が止まったり、草を食べたりしますが、それも含めて、笑って楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。静かな波の音を聞きながら、ゆったりした気分で、気持ちいい時間を過ごすことができました。ワイキキからは離れているので、スケジュールに余裕のある場合、お勧めのプログラムです。
This was my first activity in Hawaii, but even at the scheduled time, no one came to pick me up. When I called, I was told there was no reservation and the next available time was two hours later. The parasailing itself was a lot of fun, but it messed up my plans for the rest of the day.
I wanted to share this so that others don't have to go through the same experience.
As others have mentioned, the boat does sway quite a bit, so I felt a bit nauseous. It might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication on hand.
初ハワイで初アクティビティだったのですが、予定時間になっても迎えが来なくて、電話をすると予約が入っておらず次は2時間後ということでした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったのですが、その後の予定が潰れてしまいました。。
他の方にはこんな思いをして欲しくないので、投稿させてもらいました。
他の方もおっしゃってた通り、船はけっこう揺れるので酔いそうになりました。酔い止めはあった方が良いかもしれませんね。
This excursion exceeded our expectations! The crew was personally and knowledgeable about sharks and the ocean sea life. We had plenty of time in the water with the sharks because of the small group. We also saw a huge pod of dolphins 40-60 jumping out of the water traveling out to our final destination. We felt like they were putting on a show just for us. Important to note we never felt in danger while observing the sharks in the cage. Our guides were professional and patient with the timid swimmers. It was a bucket-list check off for us. We recommend an underwater camera or waterproof pouch for your iPhone. Don’t miss these amazing moments with the sharks. We will back! We highly recommend this excursion! Thanks for an incredible experience!!
The pickup at 1:15 PM for the 2 PM start was slightly delayed, but they arrived at the designated location. After showing the voucher to a female staff member for confirmation, we boarded a van that could hold about ten people and set off. Upon arriving at the port, we received an explanation that we could also catch our return ride from there (we participated as a group of five, but none of us understood much English). I communicated in broken English that we didn't need a ride back since we wanted to shop at a nearby Patagonia after parasailing, and I handed her a tip (about $5 for the five of us). She kindly suggested that she would take us back after we were done. I think she was a nice person. By the way, the woman who handled the transportation didn't speak Japanese, but the male owner of the shop, whose identity is unclear, was very good at Japanese, and the check-in process went smoothly!
The parasailing was incredibly fun and enjoyable, especially with the good weather! The rope was 150 meters long, and I think the higher you go, the better it feels. When we arrived at the port, I was delighted to see a sea turtle swimming nearby. Although the tip wasn't much, they seemed happy to receive it.
In the end, one participant got seasick and didn't take the return van, but since it was nearby, it wasn't a problem at all. I'm glad I participated!
14時からのスタートで13時15分のピックアップは少しだけ遅れて指定の場所に来てくれました。女性のスタッフにバウチャーを見せて確認後10数人乗りのワゴン車に乗り出発。港に着き帰りの便もここで乗れます的な説明を聞いて(5人で参加しましたが誰も英語はほとんど分かりません(^_^;))パラセーリングの後近くのパタゴニアで買い物したかったので送りは無しでいいですとカタコトの英語でそのことを伝え一応チップを(5人で5ドル程度ですが(^^))その女性に渡したところ終わったら送ってあげるから乗ってきなよ的な事を言ってくれました。いい人だと思います。ちなみに送迎の女性は日本語話せませんがこの店のオーナーさんか不明ですが男性の方は日本語がとても上手な人で受付もスムーズに出来ました!
パラセーリングは天気も良く言うまでもなく最高に楽しいし、気持ちいい!150mのロープ?でしたが高いほうがより気持ちいいと思います。港に着くとウミガメが近くで泳いでいるのが見えて嬉しかったです。チップも多くはありませんが渡すと喜んでもらえました。
結局参加者の一人が船酔いで気分悪くなってしまったため帰りのワゴン車には乗らなかったけど近くなので全然問題なし。参加して良かったと思います!
If you come to Hawaii, you absolutely must do this! I had a valuable experience that can only be enjoyed in Hawaii! The transportation staff were very kind, spoke Japanese, and included jokes, making it a lot of fun! Thank you very much!!
ハワイにきたなら絶対にやるべし!
ハワイだからこそ味わえる貴重な経験をさせて戴きました!送迎の方もとても親切で日本語も通じるしジョークも交えとっても楽しかったです!
ありがとうございました!!
This is a tour where you can enjoy fireworks on a boat. The food is also delicious. However, I cannot recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness, as the boat does sway. Additionally, it can be a bit chilly on the deck, so I think it would be a good idea to bring a light jacket.
花火を船上で楽しめるツアーです。
食事も美味しいです。
ただ船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方にはオススメは出来ません。
それと甲板に出ると若干肌寒いので羽織るものを一枚持っていった方が良いかと思います。
Aloha! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the wonderful fireworks cruise! Thank you for sharing your experience. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
アロハ!素晴らしい花火クルーズをお楽しみいただけたことをうれしく思います!経験を共有していただきありがとうございます。またすぐにご参加ください。マハロ!
We had a great time! Amazing views! The guides were entertaining and knowledgeable about the island. Plenty of photo opportunities. Definitely would recommend this activity!
Last time it was rainy, the sea was murky, and it wasn't good at all, so I joined the tour this time with high expectations. The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed the sandbar. It was really great.
前回は雨模様で、海が濁り、全然良くなかったので、今回は期待してツアーに参加しましたが、お天気が良く、海も綺麗で、サンドバーも楽しめました。
大変良かったです。
It was unfortunately rainy, but after a while, we were able to see some clear skies. I couldn't see anything at the first and second spots, but finally at the third location, I was able to see dolphins underwater! I was also happy to see sea turtles! We could see the swimming dolphins and sea turtles from the boat as well! The guide and all the staff on the boat were kind and friendly, and they really made the experience enjoyable! They even made a dolphin ring underwater for us! The sea was beautiful, and we saw a rainbow, making for a very fun time! I want to participate again and see even more dolphins next time!
あいにくの雨でしたが、しばらくしたら晴れ間も見られました。1回目、2回目のスポットでは私は見ることが出来ませんでしたが、3回目のところでようやく水中でイルカを見ることができました!ウミガメも見ることが出来て嬉しかったです!
泳いでいるイルカ、ウミガメも船からみることができました!ガイドのお姉さん、船に乗っているスタッフの方みんなが親切で優しく、盛り上げてくれました!
水中でドルフィンリングを作ってくれたりもしました!海も綺麗で、虹も見られ、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました!
また参加して今度はもっとたくさんイルカを見たいです!
We participated with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. A Japanese guide named Shota was with us.
It was challenging for my mother-in-law due to her leg issues, but the staff provided cheerful support when boarding and while she was seated, which we were truly grateful for.
I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles!
However, I got a bit carried away and went down the boat slide, which left me with whiplash, making things difficult after returning home. I realized that in my 40s, I need to be more selective about activities as my body can't keep up.
Since we swam in the sea and got our swimsuits soaked, everyone changed in public restrooms after we docked before getting on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.
The staff were bright and fun, making it a wonderful half-day experience!
私達夫婦と義母、義妹と参加しました。
日本人のしょうたさんがガイドでした。
義母が脚が悪く大変だったのですが、乗船する時や母が座っている時もスタッフの方々が明るくサポートして下さり、本当に有り難かったです。
野生のイルカと亀に会えて嬉しかったです!
調子に乗って、船の滑り台を滑ったらムチウチ状態になり、帰国から大変でした。40代はアクティビティを選ばないと身体がついていかないことを実感しました…
海で泳いで水着がびしょ濡れになるので、寄港してから皆さん公衆トイレで着替えてバスに乗っていました。着替えは持参された方が良いと思います。
スタッフの皆さん、明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて半日満喫出来ました!
I took my son, daughter, and my son's two friends on this cruise for my son's birthday and they had a blast! The crew got them sized for their snorkels and fins and they had so much fun swimming with all the fish in the clear water! The kids loved jumping on the inflatable trampoline, going down the slide, and especially loved jumping off the top deck of the boat! They raced each other on kayaks and the stand up paddle boards and had tons of fun. The crew were very accommodating and friendly! They even had snacks and drinks for everyone, which the kids devoured. My kids and my son's friends had a memorable day in the water and I got some great pictures to remember his birthday!
Thanks for leaving a lovely review! We all had a great time, hope to see you guys again!
Mahalo :)
I always use Dolphin University without fail. I've never missed seeing dolphins! I've never missed meeting a turtle! This time, there was a little incident that delayed our dolphin encounter, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins in the end. The incident was something I probably won't encounter again in my lifetime, so it ended up being a good resolution, and we all high-fived each other.
My son (8 years old) loves turtles and brought a turtle doll from Japan to dive with, showing the real turtle to the doll.
After that, during snorkeling, we received food to give to the fish, and many fish came to us.
The hamburger we had on the boat was also amazing! The staff were all high-energy and entertaining, making for a great time without any boredom.
I also purchased some photos.
If you have a GoPro, it's very convenient. You can take lots of great pictures. I had some excellent videos of the dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't upload them.
For those who are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must!
イルカ大学は毎回必ず利用します。
イルカが見れなかったことがない!カメに会えなかったことがない!
今回は ちょっとした事件があり ちょっとイルカに会うまでに
時間がかかりましたが バッチリ沢山のイルカに会うことができました。
事件は多分一生 遭遇することのない程のことだったので、最終的にいい事件解決だったので みんなで ハイタッチした程でした。
息子(8歳)はカメが好きで、日本からカメの人形?をもって一緒に潜り
カメの人形に 本物のカメを見せていました。
そのあとのシュノーケリングも 魚たちにあげる餌をもらい
まくと たくさん魚が 寄ってきてくれました。
船で食べた ハンバーガーも最高!とにかく スタッフの方達
みんなハイテンションで面白く 飽きることない いい時間でした。
写真も購入しました。
Goproあれば とても便利です。良い写真たくさん撮れます。
イルカは動画だったので とてもいい動画だったのに 載せられず残念。
酔いやすい人は 酔い止め必須です!
ALOHA!

I requested lessons for my 8-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter. I thought they wouldn't understand English, but they actually communicated quite well! In fact, they really tried hard! As a result, the kids came back loving their instructor!
Of course, they were able to ride the waves from the very first try. (I wonder if it's because kids don't have a fear of it?) After riding the waves, they had to paddle back out on their own, but perhaps because they were kids or because it was a private lesson, the instructor came to meet them in the shallow water, helped them with their feet, and paddled them back out, which made it super easy for them. The paddling can be tough...
If your kids want to try it, it's definitely an activity worth letting them do!
By the way, after doing various activities like swimming with dolphins, sharks, and at Wet 'n' Wild, when I asked them what they wanted to do again, both of them immediately said surfing, so we did it again on the last day!
They also took photos, which you can buy later! Credit cards are accepted!
There are videos as well, so I highly recommend it!
子どもたち 8歳男の子 10歳女の子のレッスンをお願いしました。
英語わからないけど・・と思ったけど 結構通じます!
というか 頑張ってくれます!!
なので 子どもたちは インストラクターの先生のことが 大好きになって
帰ってきました!!
もちろん波には 余裕で1本目から乗れました。(子どもは恐怖心がないから いいのかな?)
波にのったあと パドルで沖へまた 自分で漕いでいくのですが
子どもだったからか、プライベートだったからか 浅瀬まで迎えに来てくれて
足に挟んで インストラクターさんがパドルで沖までつれていってくれたので
めちゃめちゃ 楽だったと思います。
パドルがきついので・・。
もし 子どもがやりたがったら やらせるべき アクティビティです!
ちなみに イルカ、サメ、天国の海、ウェット&ワイルドなど いろんなアクティビティをやって 何をもう1回やりたい?って聞いたら
2人とも迷わずサーフィンだったので 最終日に おかわりしました!
写真も撮ってくれて あとで買うこともできます!カード可!
動画もあるので 是非おすすめです!
It was our first time surfing, and the kids took private lessons while my husband and I opted for semi-private lessons.
Since it was semi-private, there was one instructor for two people, and it was definitely the right choice!
Everyone was able to ride the waves, but the number of rides was different! I recommend the semi-private option because in a mixed group, there are several people. The instructors choose good waves and help push you, so the support is really great.
I truly believe that anyone from children to the elderly can stand on the board here.
Also, you can buy photos later. They also have videos, and they take them very well, so I highly recommend it!
サーフィンは初めてで、子ども達はプライベートレッスン、私たち夫婦は セミプライベートで お願いしました。
セミなので 2人にたいして1人のインストラクター
こちらにして正解でした!!
皆さん波には乗れていましたが、乗った数が違います!
混合だと 数名いるので セミをおすすめします!
良い波を選んでくれたり、押してくれたりと すごく手厚いです。
ここは 本当に子どもからお年寄りまで 必ず板の上に立てると思います。
そして 写真をのちほど買えます。動画もあって とても上手に撮ってくれるので おすすめです!
I took a lesson for two hours starting at 3 PM.
I was a bit anxious because I'm not good at English, but the staff member, who has a Japanese wife, was fluent in Japanese, so the pre-lesson explanation in the office was completely fine.
Once we moved to the beach, the stretching and orientation were explained only in English, but I was able to understand it somewhat through gestures.
I think the actual time we got to experience surfing was around 60 to 90 minutes (it's a bit vague since I wasn't wearing a watch...).
The staff member pushed the board at just the right moment, so I was able to stand up properly!
They let me use a long board, so even though it was my first experience, I was able to stand up relatively easily.
At first, we took turns one by one, but as we got used to it, they allowed us to stand together in pairs, and I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the staff!
15時から2時間のレッスンを受けました。
英語が苦手なので不安もありましたが、日本人の奥さんをもつスタッフの方は日本語が堪能で、オフィスでの事前説明は全く問題ありませんでした。
ビーチに移動してからのストレッチやオリエンテーションは英語のみの説明でしたが、身振りでなんとなく理解できました。
実際にサーフィンを体験できた時間は60~90分くらいだったと思います(時計してなかったので曖昧ですが…)
スタッフの方がタイミングよくボードを押してくれたので、ちゃんと立つことができました!
長いボードを使わせてくれたので、初体験でしたが割りと簡単に立つことができました。
はじめは1人ずつ順番にやりましたが、慣れてきたらペアで一緒に立たせてくれたりと、スタッフの方の気遣いが嬉しかったです!
This was SUCH a fun experience for my kids and their friends (ages 7 - 12). They got to do all five activities and didn't have any wait at all for 4 (there was a short wait for the stand-up paddle, but because there were four other things for them to have fun doing, they didn't notice at all). The crew was fabulous. They let the kids jump off the boat from different parts and had great snacks that the kids gobbled up. We asked them what they liked the best and they said they loved all the activities.
The stand-up paddling was probably the biggest hit. The snorkel and kayak and jumping off the boat (extra LOL) was next. Slide and trampoline after that. Since they're smaller/lighter, it was harder for them to jump on the trampoline -- adults will be able to make it bounce more. But yes, over all, AMAZING experience. Just a reminder that the harbor is paid parking so make sure to be ready for that. Hope you all enjoy it like we did! :)
I participated with a friend. Our group included four pairs (two from Japan and two from overseas), totaling 12 participants. The person in charge of us did not speak Japanese, and we were only given a notice written in Japanese, but as long as you read it properly, there are no issues (it includes precautions for parasailing and landing methods).
The parasailing lasted about 5 to 10 minutes each time, and I was very satisfied! Right in front of us was Diamond Head, and below was the deep blue sea; it felt like we were gracefully flying alongside airplanes. At first, the height was surprising, but it wasn't scary at all, and it felt quite relaxing. However! The real activity felt like it was on the boat, as it rocked quite a bit! The life jackets are only worn during parasailing, so if you're not holding onto the railing, you might seriously feel like you're going to be thrown off. The women in our group screamed! We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but four people ended up getting seasick.
I think the waiting time on the boat depends on the number of participants, and since we were facing backward to watch those parasailing, along with the wave height, it contributed to the motion sickness. I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance if you're prone to it, but overall, I’m glad I participated!
友人と参加しました。私たちのグループ含め4組(日本、海外各2組)12名の参加でした。
私たちを担当してくださった方は日本語が出来ず、日本語が書かれた注意書きを渡されるのみですがちゃんと読んでいれば問題ないです(パラセーリング中の注意点や着陸方法等)。
1回につき5分から10分のパラセーリング、とても満足です☆目の前にダイアモンドヘッド、下は真っ青な海、飛行機が飛ぶ横を優雅に飛んでいる感じです。最初は高さにびっくりしますが全然怖くなくのんびりできる感じです。が!本当のアクティビティは船なんじゃないかというくらい揺れます!救命胴衣はパラセーリング中のみの着用のためそれ以外は手すりにつかまってないととばされると本気で思うぐらいです。私たち含めた女性陣は悲鳴です!私たちは酔い止めを飲んでたため無事でしたが4名の方が船酔いしてました。参加人数によって船での待機時間があること、パラセーリングしてる方を見てるためずっと後ろ向きなこと、波の高さが要因だと思いますので酔いやすい方は事前の酔い止めを強くおすすめしますが、総合的に参加してよかったです!
The meeting place had a bus with people from various countries, but there were explanations in both English and Japanese, so it was reassuring. After arriving, we had free time until the activity, but actually, there are no personal areas to explore within Kualoa Ranch. Once you enter, there are check-in counters for each activity, and you can only wander around that area or eat. Since we had nearly two hours until the horseback riding, we were at a loss and spontaneously signed up for a movie location tour on-site (about $50). It was with a Japanese-speaking guide and very enjoyable. Fortunately, there happened to be an opening at just the right time, but otherwise, it might have been boring.
The horseback riding started suddenly after watching a Japanese video. You have to put your belongings in a paid locker, and while cameras are allowed, it's better to hang them around your neck since there are moments when both hands are needed. The horses are well-trained and move slowly, so even beginners should have time to take photos. There are some beautiful scenic spots, so definitely take advantage of that. Occasionally, a horse would stray off the path, but the guides (there were two for about ten people) would bring them back. It might have been because the girl taking a lot of selfies was on that horse, so the horse may have been distracted. If proper commands are given, they will likely respond well.
As for clothing, there were people wearing shorts and sandals who were not turned away, but since the sunlight is direct during horseback riding, I think knees can get really sunburned. Also, since you need to operate the stirrups, shoes that cover the toes and heels well are advisable, so I think the precautions from VELTRA are appropriate.
集合場所からは様々な国の方と一緒のバスでしたが、英語と日本語で説明があるので安心です。
到着後、アクティビティの時間までは自由行動ですが、実はクアロア牧場の中って個人的に回れるエリアがないんです。入場すると各アクティビティのチェックインカウンターがあるのですが、その付近をうろうろするか、ご飯を食べるかしかないです。乗馬の時間まで2時間近くあったので持て余し、急遽現地で映画ロケツアーを申し込みました。(50ドルくらい。日本語のガイドさんでとても楽しかったです。)たまたまちょうどよい時間の空きがあったので良かったですが、そうじゃないと退屈かもしれません 。乗馬は、日本語のビデオを観たらいきなりスタートです。荷物は有料ロッカーへ、カメラはOKですが、両手を使う場面もあるので首から下げるほうが良いです。馬さんたちはよく調教されていてゆっくり回ってくれるので写真を取る余裕は初心者でもあると思います。景色がいいところもあるので是非。たまに道を外れる子もいましたが、ガイドさん(10人位の列に対して2人でした)が連れ戻したり、、、位はありましたが、自撮り棒で写真めっちゃ撮ってる女の子の乗ってた馬だったので手元がおろそかになってたんじゃないかと。たぶんちゃんと指示を出せば言うことは聞いてくれます。
ちなみに服装ですが、ショートパンツにサンダルでも断られず乗ってる人もいました。でも乗馬中は日差しがダイレクトなので、膝とかすごく焼けると思います。あと鐙を操作するので、やはりつま先と踵がしっかりカバーされた靴が良いと思いますのでVELTRAさんの注意事項は適切だとおもいました。
There were four groups including us, and everyone except us was from abroad, but the atmosphere on the boat was really nice! There were two foreign staff members who spoke only basic Japanese, giving instructions and asking if we were having fun, but they were very cheerful! I didn't get seasick, but if you're worried about seasickness, it might be a good idea to bring some motion sickness medication!
Parasailing was a bit scary, but it felt amazing, and it was so much fun to see everything from up high!!! They checked with us about taking photos when it was our turn, and they were also filming with a GoPro. I saw that the group before me had some great shots, so I decided to purchase the photos they took of us! This also became a wonderful memory!
I'm really glad we chose to go up to 150 meters! If I come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to go parasailing again!
私たち含め4組おり、自分たち以外は外国の方でしたが、船での雰囲気もとても良かったです!
外国のスタッフさんが2人で日本語は最低限の指示や楽しかった?などでしたがとても陽気な方でした!私は酔いませんでしたが、船酔いが不安な方は酔い止めを持っていくと良いかもしれません!
パラセーリングは、少し怖かったですがとっても気持ちよく、色んなところを見渡すことがてきものすごく楽しかったです!!!
自分達の番のときに写真を撮るかどうかを確認してくれて、GoProでも撮っていましたが、私の前のグールプが撮ってもらっていて良さそうだったので撮ってもらった物を購入しました!これも良い思い出になりました!
150mにして良かったなと思います!
またハワイに来ることがあれば、絶対にパラセーリングをやりたと思います!
I thought I would see a lot of fish and turtles since it was a submarine experience, but I might have had too high expectations. Since it's in nature, I think timing plays a role as well. The price is a bit high too. The staff was very enthusiastic and made it enjoyable.
潜水艦ということで、個人的に沢山の魚や亀がみれるとおもったが、期待しすぎていた。自然の中なので、タイミングもあると思います。値段も高いかな。スタッフさんはとても盛り上げてくれました。
Aloha! Thank you for your cooperation. I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't as exciting as you expected. The ocean is often very unpredictable, and sightings of marine life can vary by time. We look forward to your valuable feedback. Please feel free to share it with the team. Mahalo!
アロハ!ご協力いただきありがとうございます。あなたが期待していたほどエキサイティングではなかったと聞いて申し訳ありません。多くの場合、海は非常に予測不能であり、水中生物の目撃は時間によって異なります。貴重なご意見をお待ちしております。ぜひチームで共有してください。マハロ!
My friend and I did this together when she was in town visiting along with the UTV tour and we had so much fun! You get to see some amazing views flying through and the tour guides were so funny and made everyone feel very comfortable. They also have cameras set up that captured some really good pictures as well. My friend also took her phone with her in a waterproof pouch that you wear on your neck so we got some cool pictures that way too. I would definitely recommend and if you haven't ziplined before this is a really pretty place to try it!
This was so much fun, I would definitely recommend the 2 hour tour! We had plenty of time to stop at several of the movie film stops and take pictures. Our guide Tyler was so funny and helpful and really gave us a great tour. The ranch is so beautiful and you get to see so much on this tour!
My friend and I went on this together and it was the first time for both of us on a submarine! It was really neat getting to see the airplane and ships that were down there as well as getting the chance to see about 4 sea turtles and even a small shark! The crew was very nice and professional and we had a great time.
Mahalo for your review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time exploring Hawaii's marine life. We're glad you had a fun time adventuring with us. We hope you’ll join us again soon! Mahalo!
I went to the meeting place and waited for 10 minutes past the scheduled time, but the shuttle did not arrive. Even when I called, they spoke rapidly in English, and I couldn't understand anything. In the end, I waited for an hour, and then I received a call from Veltra, who made excuses about traffic congestion. It was a disaster. Being in a foreign country, I can tolerate some things, but this was a complete no-show.
集合場所に行き集合時間の10分待っても送迎が来ません。こちらから電話しても英語でペラペラ言って何もわからず結局1時間待ってベルトラから電話があり車が渋滞してるなどの言い訳けをし災厄でした。外国なのである程度は我慢ができますが、完全のすっぽかしです
I participated in a two-hour course. Even though it had been a while since I rode a horse, the pre-ride lecture was quite simple: pull the reins to the right when you want to go right, and to the left when you want to go left. It also mentioned that if the horse starts eating grass, you should firmly pull the reins to stop it. I was a bit worried when I got on the horse, but it was very well-behaved and followed the horse in front of it perfectly. We went through a lush forest and then came across a path where we could see the ocean. There was also a place with several large dinosaur bones, which I assume was a filming location for Jurassic Park, making it quite enjoyable. I felt a bit nervous when other riders approached on the narrow path, wondering if we could pass each other, and we even encountered some buggies. The two hours flew by. However, I unexpectedly started to feel pain in my backside, but overall, it was a fun tour.
2時間コースに参加。久しぶりに馬に乗るというのに、事前のレクチャーは右に行きたいときは手綱を右に引き、左の時は左にということと、草などを馬が食べ始めたら、しっかりと手綱を引いて辞めさせるようにというものくらいででした。心配しながら馬に乗ったのだが、馬がとてもおりこうさんで、しっかり前の馬の後について進んでいってくれました。こんもりとした森の中を進んだかと思うと海が見える小径をいったり、ジュラシックパークの撮影地だったのでしょうか、大きな恐竜の骨がいくつも置いてある場所があったりで楽しめました。狭い道を向こうからも馬に乗った人たちが来て、すれ違えるのかとドキドキしたり、バギーが走っているのに出会ったり、2時間はあっという間でした。しかし、途中からお尻が痛くなったのは予想外でしたが、楽しむことができたツアーになりました。
The area we watched from was right in front, so it was breathtaking! There was also a menu where guests could dance hula together, and since it was a song I was currently learning, I happily participated in the dance.
観たエリアも正面だったので、圧巻でした! ゲストと一緒にフラを踊るメニューもあり、ちょうど習っている曲だったので、楽しく踊りに参加しました。
I was a bit anxious because I participated with someone who is not very familiar with English, but it seemed that many staff members understood Japanese, so there were no problems at all. For transfers and meals during the tour, you can manage just by following the flow of people.
Even if you get lost, it felt like someone would help you out if you were wandering around with your voucher. Since it's likely a space with only employees and tourists, there shouldn't be any danger of petty crime. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Jurassic Park is great, but I think you'll enjoy it even more if you watch the new "Jumanji" that was released recently before going, as it really feels like stepping into that world!
英語に不慣れな二人で参加したので不安だったのですが、日本語の分かる方が多く働いているようで、何も問題ありませんでした。ツアー間の移動や食事なども、人の流れについていけばなんとなく済ませられます。
もし迷ってしまっても、バウチャーを持ってウロウロしていれば誰かがなんとかしてくれそうな雰囲気でした。
おそらく従業員と観光客しかいない空間なので、軽犯罪などの危険もないでしょう。ほのぼのとした感じです。
ジュラシックパークも良いですが、近年公開された新しい「ジュマンジ」を見てから行くと、まさにそのままの世界なので、楽しめると思います!
My friend and I went one night when she was in town visiting and had such an amazing time! The boat is very nice and spacious and we loved having the net lounge seating to hang out on. The crew was awesome and continued to walk around the whole time checking on guests to see if they needed anything. You get an awesome view of Diamond Head as well as an amazing sunset view, I would definitely recommend!
my husband and I had a great experience st the stargazing tour! Greg was very knowledgeable and very passionate about space and the stars. He answered all our extra questions thoroughly. We also enjoyed the location, the hotel was beautiful and it was dark enough to see many stars.
Mahalo! Keep reaching for the stars!
I had my elderly father and mother participate in a tour. On the day of the tour, the tour company made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived an hour early, so they didn't come to pick them up no matter how long they waited. My mother managed to think on her feet and contacted the tour company, allowing them to join the tour that was scheduled an hour later.
The day before, I had provided the emergency contact information to the tour company, yet they decided to mark them as absent simply because "they weren't at the meeting place" without properly confirming. If they had checked thoroughly, they would have realized they had mixed up the times. What would have happened if my mother hadn't contacted them?
After returning from the tour, I reached out to the tour company, but their response was, "If you were able to join the next tour..." It completely ruined what was supposed to be a meaningful trip for my parents.
高齢の父と母をツアーに参加させました。
当日、ツアー会社が集合時間を間違え1時間前のツアーの迎え時間で来てしまい、いくら待っても迎えに来ず…。母が何とか機転を利かせてツアー会社に連絡し、最初に予定していたものの1時間後のツアーに参加することが出来ました。
前日には、ツアー会社に緊急連絡先も伝えておいたのに、「集合場所にいなかったから。」という理由できちんと確認もしないまま不参加と判断するものはいかがかと。しっかり確認していれば、次の時間と間違えていたと気がついたと思います。母が連絡していなかったらどうしていたのでしょうか??
ツアーから戻って来てからツアー会社に連絡しましたが、「次のツアーに参加できたなら…。」という対応でした。
折角の親孝行旅行が台無しになってしまいました。
