Oahu
We took our family of 4 (including twin 7 year olds) to this experience. We all got in the water and couldn't believe how many turtles we got to experience up close! The excursion was well managed and very fun! The ride after the snorkel encountered some big waves, which my kids freaked out about a tiny bit, but overall we had an excellent time. It was, hands down, our family's favorite experience in our 10 days in Hawaii.
I got seasick while transferring from the boat to the submarine. If you're prone to motion sickness, be sure to prepare some medication. It can ruin a wonderful experience.
船から潜水艦への乗り換えで、私は酔いました。必ず乗り物に弱い人は酔い止めを準備して下さい。せっかくの体験が台無しです。
I was able to experience various activities, and the show was fun and enjoyable! It was a program that the whole family could enjoy, regardless of age. I would like to participate again next time!
色々な体験も出来て
ショーも楽しく良かったです!
年齢関係なく、家族で楽しめるプログラムでした、又次回も参加したいです!
I haven't received any updates regarding the photos taken underwater. Aside from that… the instructor was kind and pleasant, and the fish that came close were incredibly moving, almost like the images I had in mind.
You can experience the same level of excitement while scuba diving, but since my wife can't swim, the underwater scooter was a lifesaver.
[Additional note] I posted this, but after the VELTRA help desk contacted the organizing company, I was able to obtain the photos, so I changed my rating to the highest.

On the day, I was told that the waves were high and that stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be difficult, so I switched to surfing. There were seven students, and my friend and I ended up with Mr. M, who hardly speaks any Japanese. This Mr. M was the worst! He had no smile from the beginning and looked scary. I was nervous as a beginner...
Even when we were in the water, he never came over to the students. Even when he told us to come over, we couldn't move towards him... It was not fun at all. He assumed we didn't understand English and kept complaining, saying things like, "I'm just doing this for work," and "You can't even swim."
If you get this teacher, it's the worst. He should be let go! What should have been a fun memory turned into a terrible one that I don't want to remember. The woman at the counter (a Japanese person) also said that this teacher has a bad reputation. I can't understand why he is still employed. I want my money back. Of course, there are things that need to be said for safety, but that attitude is unacceptable!
当日、波が高いとのことでSUP難しいと言われサーフィンに。生徒が7人いたため、私と友人は日本語のほとんどできないM先生となった。このM先生が最悪です!最初から笑顔なし、怖い顔のまま。初心者で緊張しているのに・・・
海で出ても、先生から生徒に寄ってくることなし。こっちにこいと言われてもなかなか先生のところまですすむこともできず・・・
全く楽しくない。そして、こちらが英語がわからないと思って、「俺は仕事だからやってんだ」とか、「泳げないくせに」とか、文句ばかり。
この先生にあたったら、最悪です。やめさせるべき!
楽しいはずの思い出が思い出したくない最悪の思い出になりました。
カウンターの女性(日本人)もこの先生は評判が悪いと言っていました。なぜ、雇っているのか理解に苦しみます。
お金を返してもらいたい。もちろん、危険もあるでしょうから、言わなければいけないこともあるでしょうが、あの態度はない!

はなはな様:
弊社のインストラクターMの態度により、とても不愉快な体験をなされたとの事でとても申し訳ございませんでした。本人には厳しい指導をし、それなりに弊社で問題の解決そして処分をいたします。お客様のレッスンの費用は全て返金させていただきます。また、きちんとしたインストラクターにより、レッスンを受け直して頂き、良い思い出を作って頂きたと思いますので、将来ハワイにいらっしゃる機会がある時には弊社にご連絡下さいませ。誠に申し訳ございませんでした。
I experienced zip-lining for the first time, and the exhilaration along with the cheerful staff made it incredibly fun. I’ll definitely come again next year!
初めてジップラインを体験しましたが、その爽快感とスタッフの方々が陽気に盛り上げてくれて、メッチャ楽しかったです。また来年も来ま~す!!
The cheerful instructor was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, so I was able to ride relatively smoothly. I recommend it for those who are trying surfing for the first time.
陽気なインストラクターさんがとても楽しかったです。丁寧に教えてくれたので割とスムーズに乗れるようになりました。サーフィン初めてという方にはオススメです。
I was initially anxious about the conditions of the sea (during the bus ride from Waikiki), but the crew who greeted us in Japanese quickly eased my worries. We encountered a pod of dolphins twice, and I was moved by their twist jumps right in front of us! It was a wonderful experience. The crew was really cheerful, and we laughed a lot, creating lovely memories. There were a few people who felt seasick, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I had no issues. I also didn't experience any motion sickness after returning. The rental of dive suits was helpful as it kept me warm. Additionally, make sure to put your belongings in a waterproof bag, or they will get soaked.
潜る海の状況がわからず(ワイキキからバスでの移動に)不安がありましたが、バスで迎えてくれたクルーの日本語がうまく不安はすぐになくなりました。
2回もイルカの群れに出会い、目の前でツイストジャンプには感動!!素晴らしい体験でした。
また、クルー達はほんと愉快だし笑いっぱなしで素敵な思い出になりました。
船酔いで体調を崩している人も何人かいましたが、事前に酔い止めを飲んで参加したので問題なし。戻ってからの丘酔いもありませんでした。
ダイブスーツのレンタルも寒くならずに助かりました。
あと荷物は防水バックに入れないとビチョビチョになります。
Awesome,great experience! Safe, highly recommend this tour. As a travel agent will recommend Hawaii Shark Encounter to people who looking extreme .Suggestions: Make a video for people from the side. People will love it to see themselves in the cage surrounding by different types of sharks.
This was my third consecutive year participating, and the exhilarating feeling of riding the waves was as amazing as ever! It's one of the must-do activities in Hawaii, so I'll definitely be back next year!
今年で3年連続の参加でしたが、相変わらず波に乗る爽快感は最高でした!ハワイで外せないアクティビティーのひとつなので、また来年も来ま~す!!
This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was also my first time surfing. I had a bit of anxiety, but the instructors were very friendly, and the lessons were enjoyable from start to finish! I'm not particularly good at sports, but I was able to stand up on the board!! The way they taught was also very good. When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to surf here again!
初めてのハワイで、しかもサーフィンも初めて。不安も少しありましたが、教えてくださった方々がとてもフレンドリーで終始楽しいレッスンでした!運動は、どちらかといえば苦手だったのですが、立てました!!教え方がとても上手なところもよかったです♩またハワイに行った際は、是非またここでサーフィンをしたいと思います!
Paddling is such an amazing Hawaiian tradition; these guys made it a blast. My family hasn't paddled before and it had been 20 years for me. They took us out in Waikiki and we caught some swells and rode the waves in. The photographers associated with canoeing took great shots and captured everyone smiling. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone traveling to Oahu.
On windy days, those who are prone to seasickness may want to take motion sickness medication, as it could be helpful. It's close to Waikiki, so I recommend it for those who are short on time.
風が強い日は、船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めを飲んで、望むとよいかも。ワイキキから近いので時間の無い人にもオススメです。
It was a perfect night on the ocean as it was my wife’s Birthday so I decided to take her on the dinner cruise every thing was perfect , from the Lady and crew who picked us up from the hotel to the cruise staff ,food was great service was great and entertainment was fantastic I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out
I had a great time with the guidance in Japanese. I think it would be really fun to participate if you watch movies often. The staff were all cheerful and entertaining. Next time, I want to try horseback riding.
日本語で案内してくれてとても楽しめました。映画をよく見て参加するととても楽しいと思います。
スタッフはみなさん明るくおもしろかったです。今度は乗馬したいです。
It was very expensive, but since it was over the sea, I wasn't scared. The view of Waikiki was very beautiful. The boat rocked quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. In the end, you get dropped into the sea, but I had fun.
とても高かったけど、下は海なので怖くなかったです。ワイキキの景色がとてもきれいでした。かなりボートが揺れて船酔いしやすいので酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。
最後に海にドボンされますが、楽しめました。
I had a great time playing volleyball at Angel's Beach Sandbar; that space was the best! I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, and I created amazing memories with the snorkeling experience during summer vacation. The staff were fun, and the lunch was delicious. I want to go again! Mahalo!
天使の海サンドバーでのバレーボールで大喜び、あの空間での時間は、最高〜!
ウミガメもたくさん会えて、シュノーケリング体験と、夏休みの最高な思い出ができました。
スタッフ達も楽しく、ランチも美味しかった。
また行ってみたい!
マハロ!
I referred to the experiences beforehand. Following the advice, I gave motion sickness medication to my children who are prone to getting seasick before boarding, but only my eldest daughter ended up feeling seasick among the three kids. The boarding position might also be a factor. It may be better for those who are prone to seasickness to board towards the back of the boat.
The parasailing experience itself was wonderful. I let my 5-year-old try it at 150 meters. Thanks to the cheerful and friendly staff, we had a great time.
体験談を事前に参照しました。
アドバイス通り、乗り物酔いしやすい子供たちに酔い止めを内服させて乗船させましたが、3人の子供のうち長女のみが船酔いしてしまいました。乗船位置も関係しているかもしれません。船酔いしやすい人はなるべく後部の方に乗船した方がよいかもしれません。
パラセイリング自体は素晴らしい体験でした。
5歳児も150mで体験させました。陽気でフレンドリーな添乗員のおかげでとても楽しめました。
this was such a fun excursion! I really loved the sandbar experience. It was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely do this tour again with my family. We were able to take our 10 month old and she enjoyed it. We also brought her infant floatie and let her swim at the sandbar. The staff were so friendly and provided great customer service. We originally kept trying to book this tour but saw no availability until I checked the day before leaving for Hawaii and I was so happy we got confirmed to do the tour.
I have done ziplining several times in Japan, but the length and scenery here are incomparable. There were three staff members accompanying us, so there were no safety concerns. The explanation in Japanese was only in a video before the start, but they supplemented it with broken Japanese and gestures during the activity.
It was a wonderful experience in Hawaii.
日本で何度かジップラインをしたことがありますが、長さと景色の良さは比べものになりません。
スタッフが3名付き添ってくれるので、安全面の心配もなし。日本語での説明はスタート前の動画のみでしたが、途中の説明は片言の日本語や手振りで補ってくださいました。
ハワイでの素晴らしい体験になりました。
Fourth time horseback riding in the canyon✨
I participated again without hesitation. It's a mother-daughter trip✨
"Fourth Tour Highlights"
① The horses are still adorable
② The ranch owner, Mark, is as kind as ever.
③ KOJI is attentive as always
④ Haleiwa Town is still charming
⑤ I got to eat garlic shrimp.
Long sleeves and long pants are a must (something you can throw away)
Take photos with your phone!
We will stop by Dole Plantation. I always think it's unnecessary, but we need to take a restroom break.
Heading to Haleiwa Town. We have 30 minutes to stay. Take photos with angel wings, and then off to horseback riding in the canyon…
★ Please make sure to listen to the guide's horseback riding instructions★
Even though it was my fourth time, I got distracted by the cuteness of the horses and became careless when getting on.
If you follow the instructions, there’s absolutely no problem for beginners.
Riding the horses into the canyon✨ You can ride in Japan, but nothing compares to climbing up and down the canyon and getting a panoramic view of Waimea.
On the way back, we went to Haleiwa Town again… ate garlic shrimp, bought vintage coffee, and saw some turtles at Alii Beach before heading back✨
I think the trip to Hawaii is expensive, and the tours are pricey, but it's worth it.
Thank you!
渓谷乗馬4回目✨
懲りずにまた参加しました。母娘の二人旅です✨
「4回目のツアーポイント」
①お馬さんが相変わらず可愛い
②牧場のオーナー「マークさん」相変わらず優しい。
③KOJIさんがきめ細やか
④ハレイワタウンが相変わらず魅力的
⑤ガーリックシュリンプが食べられた。
長袖、長ズボンは必須(捨てても良いもの)
写真は携帯で!
Doleプランテーションに立ち寄ります。毎度要らないと思いますがトイレ休憩する必要があります。
ハレイワタウンへ向かいます。滞在時間30分です。天使の羽で写真をとり、渓谷乗馬へ…
★ガイドさんの乗馬に関する注意事項は必ず聞いて下さい★
4回目、聞いてたにも関わらず馬の可愛さに気を取られて乗るとき適当になってしまいました。
注意事項を守れば初心者でも全く問題ありません。
いざ、お馬さんに乗り渓谷へ✨日本でも乗馬は出来ますが一緒に渓谷を登り下りてワイメアを一望できるのは比になりません。
帰り再びハレイワタウンへ…ガーリックシュリンプを食べて、ヴィンテージコーヒーを購入してアリイビーチで亀さんを少し見て帰ってきました✨
ハワイ旅行自体金額が高いしツアーも高いですが価値があるものと私は思います。
ありがとうございました!
Angel's Sea is a stunning spot that looks great in photos, and on top of that, you can experience snorkeling, making it a very satisfying plan. Although lunch is included, it's just a small sandwich, so you might find yourself quite hungry after returning from the tour.
天使の海は、写真映えする絶景スポットで、それに加えてシュノーケリングも体験できて、満足度がとても高いプランでした。お昼が付くとありますがちょっとしたサンドイッチが出してもらえるだけなので、ツアーから戻ってからお腹がますがすいてしまうかもしれません。
I stayed at a different Hilton, but the location was a bit hard to find. I chose the middle course, and I was able to get priority for the buffet, so I recommend it. I was seated to the side, but there were dancers in every direction, so it was totally fine!
I recommend going at least once!
別のヒルトンに泊まってたのですが、場所が少し分かりづらかったです。
真ん中のコースにしたのですが、優先的にビュッフェを取れたのでおススメです。横の席だったのですが、全方向にダンサーさんがいるので、全然大丈夫でした!
一度は行ってみることをオススメします!
I signed up for a 90m experience with my wife and our two elementary school children. The whole family was super excited about this extraordinary experience! We had a great time.
There was a middle school boy and a woman from another couple on the same boat who got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication beforehand.
小学生2人と妻と私の4人で90mに申し込みました。非日常の体験に家族みんな大興奮!すっごく楽しめました。
同じボートに中学生の男の子と、別のカップルの女性が船酔いで死んでましたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止め薬を先に飲んでおいた方がいいです。
We all had a great time on the 1.5-hour course. My 9 and 11-year-old kids initially looked a bit anxious, but they got used to it and were very happy along the way. My mother, who is in her late 50s, was also satisfied. The course involved climbing up and down the mountain. Along the way, we had a nice view of the sea. The staff's explanations were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.
1.5時間コースで家族みんなで楽しめました。
9才と11才の子供達が、最初は不安そうな顔をしてたけど、途中から慣れてきてとても喜んでいました。
50代後半の母も満足していました。
山を登って降りてというコース。
途中、海が見えていい景色でした。
スタッフの方の説明は英語でしたが、問題なかったです。
Thank you!
Mahalo!
I was very satisfied with the horseback riding experience, which allowed me to ride in a more elegant natural setting than the last time I rode for an hour. The horses are very intelligent, so I could mostly leave it to them. I hardly had to use the reins, and I was able to enjoy the scenery safely. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.
前回1時間の乗馬体験の時よりもたっぷりと優雅な自然の中を乗馬体験できて、大満足でした。
馬が頭が良いので、ほぼお任せ。無理に手綱を使うこともほとんどなく、安全に風景を楽しめます。
また、機会があれば参加したいと思います。
Me and my husband were on our honey moon and decided to do this! Such a blast! When you wait your turn you can snorkel, which I got to swim with a sea turtle! Then we got to go on the awesome scooters and you get to feed/touch the fish!
Also if you get sea sick or think you might take something before hand!
The staff was excellent! So nice and helpful! They all did an amazing job!
I was a little disappointed that we didn't land in the water for some reason, but my first parasailing experience was very enjoyable. I recommend going for 150 meters! I usually get motion sickness, but thanks to taking motion sickness medicine, I was totally fine with the boat's rocking!
なぜか着水してくれなかったのが少しだけ残念でしたが、初めてのパラセイリング体験はとても楽しかったです。150mがオススメです!普段乗り物酔いする私ですが、酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげか、船の揺れは全然平気でした!
Every year, my husband and I visit Hawaii. We usually rent a car and go to Kailua and the North Shore, but this time we decided to try an optional tour. The guide provided various explanations and recommended a fantastic lunch spot, making it more enjoyable than we expected. The shrimp place he recommended was the best I've ever had! Thank you, Kaz, our guide!
毎年夫婦でハワイ来てます。いつもはレンタカーしてカイルアやノースショアに行きますが、今回はオプショナルツアーにチャレンジしてみました。ガイドの方が色々説明してくれたり、イチオシのランチスポット教えてくれたりと予想以上に楽しめました。教えていただいたシュリンプ屋さんは今までで1番美味しかったです(*^_^*)
ガイドのカズさん、ありがとうございました!
Thank you for participating. I'm glad to hear that you were satisfied. The shrimp place I recommended is a top choice based on Kaz's various tastings. Please consider using our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございます。
ご満足頂け嬉しいです。お勧めしたシュリンプ屋は、カズが色々味見をした結果のお店でイチオシです。
次の機会も是非ご利用下さい。
We participated with two elementary school students and two adults, a total of four people. Our reservation was for 1 PM, but we had to wait about 40 minutes for the previous canoe to return. However, the staff member who spoke Japanese at the reception said, "You can wait in the pool at the Royal Hawaiian," so we were lucky to wait while playing in the pool, keeping the kids entertained.
We experienced the canoe with three families from the West and our group of four. In addition to a friendly captain, one of the staff members who spoke Japanese joined us, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. The kids just sat in the canoe without paddles. When I asked, "Can we take pictures while on the canoe?" they replied, "You can take pictures without paddles," so I also took pictures without a paddle and enjoyed canoe surfing to my heart's content. Although we were told we could ride the waves twice, we were lucky enough to ride three times, which left us very satisfied.
We had a fantastic time at a reasonable price, and the whole family enjoyed it. I highly recommend it!
小学生2人と大人2人の4人で参加しました。
13時~の予約でしたが、前の回のカヌーが戻ってくるのを待っていて40分ほど待ち時間があったとおもいます。
しかし受付の日本語のできるスタッフの方が「(ロイヤルハワイアンの)プールに入って待ってていいよ」とのことでしたので、プールで遊びながら待っていたので子供達も飽きずに待ててラッキーでした。
カヌーは、欧米のファミリー三人と私たち四人が一緒に体験しました。感じの良いキャプテンの他に、先程の日本語のできるスタッフの一人も入ってくれて安心して楽しめました。
子供はオールは持たずに乗るだけ。 「カヌーに乗って写真を撮っても良いか?」と聞いたら、「オールなしなら写真撮れるよ」とのことだったので、私もオールはなしで 思う存分写真を撮りながらカヌーサーフィンを体験させていただきました。
波に乗れるのは2回とのことでしたが、またまたラッキーな事に3回も乗らせて頂き大満足です。
手頃な値段で、家族みんなが楽しめて最高の時間が過ごせました。
おすすめです!
