Oahu
I participated in the 2-hour course without transportation included. I went by rental car, and it was easy to get there because of its clear location. During check-in, I was told that I could bring my smartphone, water, and a towel. (There were coin lockers available for about $5, so I stored my bag there. I left my valuables with a companion who wasn't participating.) The horse had a small bag attached, so I could put water in it, but I finished before I even had a chance to drink (laughs). I recommend having a smartphone ring; it helps stabilize your phone while riding, making it easier to take good photos. Without it, I felt like I might drop my phone and couldn't take great pictures. The staff took wonderful photos with our phones, so I have lovely memories captured.
But above all, I can't forget the magnificent views I saw with my own eyes. The 2 hours flew by in no time. It was a tour that made me truly want to participate again!!! Thank you very much!
2時間コース、送迎なしで参加しました。レンタカーで行きましたが、わかりやすい場所にあるためすぐ行けます。
チェックイン時にスマホ、水、タオルくらいは持って行っていいよと言われました。(カバンはコインロッカーもあったので5ドル程で預けられたはずです。私は参加しない同行者に貴重品など預けました。)馬に小さなバックが付いているので、水など入れられましたが飲んでる間もなく終了しました(笑)スマホはスマホリング付いていると、手に携帯が安定して馬に乗りながら上手に写真を撮る事が出来るのでおススメです。何もなしだと落としそうでなかなか上手にとれませんでした。スタッフが自分たちの携帯で写真を撮ってくれたので素敵な写真が残りました。
でも何より自分の目で見た壮大な景色が忘れられません。2時間あっという間に終わってしまいました。もう一度参加したい!!!と心から思えるツアーでした!ありがとうございました!
I experienced the 120m plan. It was my first time parasailing, and flying over the beautiful ocean in Hawaii felt amazing. The location is also close to Waikiki, and since the duration is short, I recommend it because you can enjoy other activities or shopping afterward.
120mプランを体験しました。
パラセイリングは初めてでしたが、ハワイの綺麗な海の上を飛ぶのは最高に気持ちが良かったです。
体験場所もワイキキから近く、時間も短いので終わってから他のアクティビティや買物等楽しめるのでおススメです。
Best thing I did in Hawaii. Crew were amazing! Cornbin was my favourite (dude with the shredded 6 pack and sweet smile). The perfect way to see some beautiful turtles. Also great opportunity to sale the crystal clear waters. 10/10.
The “booze cruise” as we called it(bachelorette party) definitely was amazing! The bride enjoyed it most(out of all the other activities we did that weekend) and that’s all that mattered. The boat crew were surprisingly interactive during our activities and even joined in our sandbar volleyball match. So much laughs and the scenery/water/weather was breath taking. Although we are from Maui and experience a lot of boating and time in the water, to the crew that worked September 29th, 2018(I didn’t get names) YOU ALL WERE FABULOUS!! Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo!
Great boat and friendly crew, relaxing morning and turtles easily spotted. Highly recommended
It was a 1.5-hour horseback ride, but considering it took us 2 hours to get there from Waikiki, it ended up being just 1.5 hours of riding through the forest, which got boring halfway through.
1.5時間の乗馬でしたが、ワイキキから2時間かけて行った割に
森の中をただひたすら乗馬するだけの1.5時間だったので途中で飽きてしまいました。
アロハ、あなたが乗車や景色を楽しめなかったと聞いて残念です。1.5時間の乗車は、山を通り、島のウィンドワード側を見るための有名な山頂へ向かいますが、ほとんどの人はその景色を楽しんでいます。フィードバックをありがとうございます。マハロ。
Aloha, We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the ride or the views. The 1.5 ride is through the mountains to our famous mountaintop to see the Windward side of the island and most people enjoy the views. Thank you for the feedback. Mahalo
The contrast of blue, the mysterious experience of standing in the sea, and encountering many sea turtles made for a truly wonderful experience. The crew was very attentive to ensure that all participants enjoyed themselves, which was great. Thank you! The hamburgers were juicy and very delicious. Although the boat goes out to sea, it hardly sways, so even for someone like me who gets seasick easily, it was fine. At the snorkeling spot, there were many colorful fish, and I felt it was a highly satisfying tour. I think you will definitely get sunburned, so sunscreen is a must! I forgot to apply it on my calves and ended up very red, haha. For those participating, be careful with your calves and the tops of your feet. That said, I’m really glad I participated. I highly recommend this tour.
青のコントラスト、海の中に立っている不思議な体験、海ガメさんにもたくさん出会えてとても素晴らしい体験ができました。^ ^クルーの皆さんも参加者全員が楽しめるようにとても気を配ってくれたので、とても良かったです。ありがとうございました!ハンバーガーもジューシーでとても美味しかったです。船から沖に進みますがほとんど揺れることもないので酔いやすい私でも大丈夫でした。シュノーケリングのポイントではカラフルなお魚もたくさんいて満足度の高いツアーだと感じました。日焼けは多分とてもすると思いますので日焼け止めは必須です!私はふくらはぎに塗り忘れて真っ赤になりました笑笑 参加される方、ふくらはぎと足の甲要注意です。とはいえ、参加して本当に良かったです。おススメのツアーです。
Such an amazing experience! Would definitely do this again! The crew that took us was great, as well :)
We had a blast at Coral Crater! We booked the ultimate package that included zipline, tower,and ATV and it was so worth it! The day started off zip-lining. We had zip-lined at a few other places here which I remember being somewhat bored. This wasn't the case here. The lines fly through the tree top and it definitely felt a lot faster than our previous zip tour. No one got stuck on the lines because you go more than fast enough! I wish I was able to post some of the video here! After zip-lining we had a much needed hour break for lunch before the tower activity. It does get very hot as the adventure park is literally built into a crater and is protected from the wind. Taking a break to cool off and drink lots of water was very nice. The tower was a ton of fun, some obstacles were pretty easy while others were fairly challenging. I am not a climber so being up in the air really took me out of my comfort zone which made even the simple obstacles exciting! The safety equipment they use is top notch, high-end gear, so when you do fall you can rest easy knowing that you are safe.There was a 3rd grade boy in the group who was flying through the course, his parents (not old) could barely keep up! So its safe to say this great for kids. The most intimidating part is the "freefall" from 70 ft using the auto-belay device.It looks terrifying but is actually pretty fun. The climbing wall was a lot of fun also. We all got to take as many attempts as we wanted. I made it up to the bell both times I went and was exhausted after that. The final activity was ATVs. These are not normal ATVs, they are custom 800cc v-twin mid-engine off-road machines. I had a blast drifting and sliding the ATV around. I got the ATV almost sideways multiple times and at one point we almost hit 30MPH! This is not a slow, sightseeing ATV ride, so do not expect that. Driving skill will play a role in how exciting this ATV is. If you want to tear up the trail and get dirty, these are the ATVs to do it on!
Mike, Thanks for the kind review. It was great having you at the park and we hope to welcome you back for another fun time.
The entertainment and activities were excellent!!
The young entertainers were very enthusiastic and had so much energy. We enjoyed this luau very much.
Aloha Scott, thanks for your review! We are so glad you had all the best at the luau, and we look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo from your Toa Luau Ohana! ^_^
I think it was about an hour with each group lasting around 10 minutes. While waiting below, I thought 10 minutes would be short, but the time spent in the air during parasailing felt long. It was quite stable with little swaying, making it more comfortable than being on the boat. If the weather is good, the view is fantastic. I had some money with me for tips, but I was unsure how much to give.
1組10分程度で約1時間くらいだったと思います。
下で待っている間は10分は短いかなと思ってましたが、パラセイリングで上空にいる時間は長く感じました。揺れることも少なく安定していたのでボートより快適でした。
天気が良ければ景色も最高です。
持ち物に多少のお金とあり、チップ用ですがいくら渡したらよいのか迷いました。
My usual trips to Hawaii are filled with diving, but this time I decided to forgo diving and participate in horseback riding, which I was really looking forward to. I have ridden a horse 2-3 times before, and I was a bit anxious about whether I could handle two hours of riding, but I’m really glad I decided to go for it.
Next time I visit Hawaii, I want to go specifically for this two-hour horseback riding experience. The breathtaking scenery was overwhelming and truly moving.
I hesitated a bit because it seemed somewhat expensive, but it was something I couldn’t easily experience in Japan, and I think this price for two hours with transportation included is a great deal.
A friend who came with me was scared of horses and participated alone, but she was totally fine. The shuttle bus to and from the location had a lot of foreigners, and there were only about two groups of Japanese people, including myself. That made it even more enjoyable. When we arrived, I honestly thought, "Do such overweight foreigners really ride horses?" but most of them were just participating in other optional tours or were simply visiting.
Upon arrival, we checked in at the booth, stored our bags in a coin locker for $5 (with explanations in Japanese), and at the meeting time, we watched a simple horseback riding video in Japanese in a hut. Then, we rode in a group of about six people alongside about three instructors.
There were cliff-like areas and streams we crossed while riding, which was quite thrilling. Although the explanations were in English, I enjoyed it. Above all, I was overwhelmed by the vast scenery, and it really helped me relieve stress. If you keep one hand free, you can take pictures with your smartphone while riding, but I was a bit scared and wanted to take in the scenery with my eyes, so I purchased a photo of myself on the horse for $15 that was taken at the start. My backside got a little sore, but I had a truly meaningful time.
After horseback riding, I wanted to enjoy a leisurely meal, but since the last bus to Waikiki left at 3 PM, I hurriedly bought a small pound cake from the shop and jumped on the bus, which is the only regret I have (laughs). I didn’t even get to look around the souvenir shops.
Hawaii, especially Waikiki, is filled with Japanese tourists, but when I come here, I really feel like I’m in a foreign country surrounded by nature. I will definitely participate again!
いつもはダイビング三昧のハワイ旅行でしたが、今回はダイビングを封印して、この乗馬を楽しみにして参加させて頂きました。
2-3回乗馬経験はありますが、2時間もの乗馬に耐えられるか、多少不安はありましたが、思いっ切って参加して、本当に良かったと今は思っています。
次回ハワイに行く時は、この2時間の乗馬を目的に行きたいと思っています。
その位、壮大な景色に圧倒され、本当に感動しました。
多少高いとためらったりもしましたが、日本ではなかなか経験出来ない事でしたし、2時間で送迎付きで、この料金は大変お得だと思います。
一緒に行った友人は、馬は怖いらしく、一人で参加しましたが、全然
へっちゃらでした。
行き帰りの送迎バスは、外国人の方が多く、日本人は私を含め、2組位でした。
それがまた楽しかったです。
現地に着いて、正直こんなに太った外国人の方々も乗馬をするのかと思いましたが、殆どは他のオプショナルツアーか或いは、ただ行っただけの外国人の方々が多かったです。
到着したら、ブースでチェックインをして、コインロッカーに荷物を5ドル(日本語説明あり)で預けて、集合時間に小屋みたいな所で日本語の簡単な乗馬のビデオを見て、ヘルメットと被って、6人位のグループで3人位のインストラクターみたいな方々と並行しながら乗馬します。
崖みたいなところがあったり、小川を馬に乗りながら、渡ったりとかなりひやひやしましたが、英語ですが色々と場所とかの説明してくれたりして、楽しめました。何といっても本当に広大な景色に圧倒されて、ストレスがパァーと発散出来ました。片手を離さなければ、スマフォ等で写真を撮りながら乗れますが、私はちょっと怖かったのと目で実際、景色を留めておきたかったので、出発時に撮って頂いた乗馬姿の写真を15ドルで購入しました。
多少お尻が痛くなりましたが、本当に有意義な時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
乗馬後はゆっくりと食事を堪能したかったですが、ワイキキ行きの最終バスが
15時で時間が無かったので、売店で買った小さなパウンドケーキだけを慌てて購入してバスに飛び乗って、食したのが唯一の心残りでした。(苦笑)
土産物屋もろくに見られなかった。
ハワイ、特にワイキキは日本人だらけですが、ここに来ると本当に外国に来たな~ってしみじみ思える大自然満載の場所です。
絶対、また参加します!
At Sandbar Beach, I couldn't see the sandy beach due to the water level being up to my waist on the day of the tour, but I still had a good time. The lunch was plentiful and delicious. I was able to see some sea turtles from the boat as well. I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and overall, I was satisfied.
サンドバービーチはツアー参加日腰くらいまでの水で砂浜は見れませんでしたが、それでもそれなりに楽しめました。お昼もボリュームが満点で美味しく頂けました。ウミガメも船の上からでしたがそれなりに見れました。シュノーケルはお魚もそこそこ見れて、全体的には満足です。
It started with a fun and easy-to-understand explanation from Yuki, who perfectly embodied the image of a Hawaiian sister, complete with laughter. The sandbar only appears at the perfect timing, which is difficult since it's a natural phenomenon. Unfortunately, it didn't appear during our visit. All the other staff members, besides Yuki, were friendly and kind. The lunch was also quite substantial. On the day we participated, the weather was rainy and cloudy, but it miraculously cleared up just in time for the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. As soon as we finished and returned to the port, it started to rain again, so we were really lucky. We were able to see many turtles. It was a lot of fun.
ザ・ハワイのお姉さまっというイメージ通りなユキさんのわかりやすく笑いありの楽しい説明から始まりました。サンドバー自体は絶好のタイミングでのみ砂浜が出てくる事らしく、自然の事なので難しいですね。私たちの時は出現せずでした。ユキさん以外のスタッフの方皆さんも気さくで親切でした。ランチもボリュームありです。私たちの参加日の天気は雨と曇りで、ちょうどサンドバー、ウミガメウォッチング、シュノーケリングのタイミングだけは晴れて、全て終わって港に着いたら雨が降り出し、本当にラッキーでした。ウミガメもたくさん見れました。楽しかったです。
We went parasailing at my husband's request. I wasn't sure about the height, but we chose the middle option of 120 meters. It felt great to speed across the water on the boat, and it was enjoyable to watch the other passengers flying as well. Flying ourselves was truly the best experience. During the descent, we playfully dipped into the water, which also became a nice memory.
夫の希望でパラセイリングへ。高さはよくわからなかったけど、中間の120M にしました。
ボートで風を切って走っていくのも気持ちいいですし、同乗者の方が飛んでいるのを見ているのも気持ちいいですし、自分たちが飛んでいるのも本当に最高でした。下降のときに、いたずらで海面ばっちゃんされるのですが、それもいい思い出です。
The day after arriving in Hawaii, we participated in a tour. It was my 4-year-old daughter, my 6-year-old son, my mother in her 60s, my husband, and me, a group of five. We were picked up at 5:30 AM, but thanks to the time difference, we had no trouble joining.
Our tour consisted only of Japanese participants. I wondered if only Japanese people make reservations for this tour. On the bus ride there, the guide provided fun explanations about the tour and information about Waikiki, and before we knew it, we had arrived. My son and daughter caught up on some much-needed sleep on the bus before boarding the boat.
This was my first time in Hawaii in September, and I didn't expect it to be so hot, but the temperature was just right for swimming. However, if you're feeling uncertain, it might be a good idea to rent a wetsuit. By the way, my mother and my son and daughter rented one. You must wear a life jacket, which also increases buoyancy, so I recommend it for those who are not confident swimmers.
I was disappointed not to meet the dolphin teacher this time, but I was very satisfied to see many turtles and fish. The chance of not meeting the dolphin teacher is only about 10%, so it seems rare. However, since we didn't get to meet, the tour company offered us a nice perk: half off the photo fee or a free participation in the next dolphin school.
It was a conscientious tour, and I would love to participate again.
Thank you so much to all the tour guides. I thought it was a wonderful tour because they genuinely tried to entertain everyone, including couples, older guests, and small children. Thanks to them, the kids had a fantastic time. My son, who was initially reluctant, got used to the ocean and enjoyed himself. He especially loved paddle boarding with my husband.
ハワイ到着の次の日に参加しました。4才の娘、6才の息子、60代の母、旦那と私の5人で参加しました。早朝、5時半にピックアップでしたが時差ボケのため難なく参加出来ました。
私達は、日本人しかいないツアーでした。こちらは日本人しか予約しないのかな?と思います。行きのバスでは、ガイドの方がツアーの説明やワイキキの情報など楽しくお話しして頂きあっという間に到着しました。息子や娘は足りない睡眠をバスで少し補充して、船に乗りました。
9月のハワイは初めてでこんなに暑いとは思ってなかったのですが、海に入るのにちょうど良い温度でした。でも、もし不安な場合はウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかもしれないです。ちなみに母と息子や娘は借りました。ライフジャケットを必ず着けますが、浮力も増すので泳ぎに自信がない方にお勧めです。
今回は、イルカ先生に会えず残念でしたが亀先輩や魚たちにたくさん会えて大満足です。
イルカ先生に会えない確率はわずか10%で珍しいようです。でも会えなかったのでツアー側から、写真代半額や次回イルカ中学に参加無料など嬉しい特典をつけてくれました。
良心的なツアーでまた参加したいです。
ツアーガイドの皆さん本当にありがとうございました。
カップルでも年輩の方も連れてこられた旦那や小さい子でも本気で楽しませようとしてくれて素晴らしいツアーだなと思いました。
おかげで子供たちはすごく楽しめました。最初は嫌がっていた息子も海に慣れて楽しんでいました。特にパドルボードは旦那と二人でずっと乗って楽しんでいました。
The weather forecast predicted rain and thunderstorms, but it turned out to be cloudy and not too hot, which was actually nice.
During the Haleiwa tour, they asked about my personal preferences and places I wanted to visit, allowing us to spend our time efficiently. If I could wish for anything, it would be an additional 15 minutes of stay time, as that would allow for a more relaxed experience.
The horseback riding by the beach was amazing! The feeling of openness when we emerged from the forest to the seaside was the best! I was healed by the sound of the waves while strolling.
Next time, I want to try horseback riding in the canyon!
天気予報は雨、雷マークでしたが、曇り空で暑すぎずかえって良かったです(^^)
ハレイワ観光は事前に個人の好み、行きたい場所を聞いてくださり、効率よく過ごせました。
欲を言えばあと15分滞在時間が長ければ、ゆとりを持って行動できると思います。
海辺乗馬は林を抜けて海辺に出た時の開放感は最高!波の音を聞きながらの散策に癒されました(^^)
次回は渓谷乗馬に挑戦したいなあ〜
I challenged myself to 150 meters. At first, I was a bit lost, but once I tried it, it was so much fun that I absolutely recommend the 150 meters and the water splash!
Everyone except us was from overseas, so I felt a bit out of place, but the guide spoke to us in broken Japanese and made sure we were okay, so I never got bored.
If you ask, they will take photos for you! There were some unique shots, and I was really glad I had them take pictures since it was such a special trip.
150メートルを挑戦しました。
はじめは迷いましたが、やってみるととても楽しかったので絶対150と水ドボンをおすすめします!
私たち以外は全員外国の方で少しアウェイ感を感じましたが、ガイドの方がカタコトの日本語で気にかけて話しかけてくれたので退屈することはなかったです。
写真もお願いすると撮ってくれます!
中にはユニークな写真もあって、せっかくの旅行なので撮ってもらってよかったなあと思いました。
Manoa Falls was a different waterfall due to the impact of the hurricane (rockfall), but I was able to fully enjoy the unique flowers and plants of Hawaii. The walking distance was just right, and I could take my time while taking photos. The vegan lunch was also incredibly delicious, featuring only healthy options like vegetables and hijiki!
マノアの滝は、ハリケーンの影響(落石)で、別の滝でしたが、ハワイ特有の花や植物を充分に楽しめました(^-^)歩く距離も丁度良く、写真も取りながらのんびり行くことが出来ました。
ビーガンのランチも、野菜やひじきなど体に優しいものばかりで凄く美味しかったです!
Thank you for your comment. The trail to the Aihualama Falls offers many plants that you won't see at Manoa Falls, making it a very lovely course as well. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
書き込みありがとうございます。アイフアラマの滝まで、マノアの滝では見られないたくさんの植物が見られますので、こちらもとても素敵なコースです。楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです。
We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We also tried parasailing for the first time. We challenged ourselves to the highest level at 150 meters, and my wife, who has a fear of heights, really enjoyed it. I think being higher allows for a longer time in the air, making it even more enjoyable. It became the best memory for us.
新婚旅行で初めてのハワイに。
パラセイリングも初めて体験しました。
一番高い150mにチャレンジしましたが、高所恐怖症の妻もすごく楽しんでいました。
高い方が空中にいる時間も長いので、より楽しめると思います。
最高の思い出になりました。
Such a great time doing the 2hour ATV tour. Our guide Bill was amazing and full of knowledge.
Would definitely recommend the 2 hour tour, I feel one hour wouldn’t be enough time to see the amazing sights of the ranch.
Would do this tour again in a heartbeat.
I had been thinking for a long time that I wanted to experience it at least once, and I finally got to enjoy it. At first, I was nervous, but thanks to the cheerful foreigners in my group and the lively staff, I was able to truly have fun. I'm really glad I did it.
一度体験してみたい、と、ずっと考えていましたが、ついに楽しむことが出来ました。最初は、ドキドキでしたが、グループになった明るい外人さん達や、陽気なスタッフのおかげで、心底 楽しむことが出来ました。本当にやって良かった。
During my trip to Hawaii, I participated in horseback riding along the beach at Hawaii Polo Club's North Shore. This was my second time riding since my experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the location was different, and it felt wonderful to ride along the coastal course while enjoying the gentle sea breeze. We got caught in the rain for a bit, but thanks to that, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow. The horses were well-trained, so there’s no need to worry even if you're a beginner. I highly recommend everyone to join and experience this wonderful feeling!
今回ハワイ旅行で、ハワイポロクラプのノースショアの海辺を乗馬に参加しました。
乗馬は、クアロアランチで体験して以来2回目でしたが、クアロアランチとはまた違うロケーションで、のんびり潮風にあたりながらめぐる海辺のコースはとても気持ち良かったです。
途中雨に降られましたが、おかげで虹も見ることが出来てラッキーでした。
乗せてもらう馬もよく調教されており、初心者でも全く心配はいりません。
皆さんもぜひ参加して、この気持ち良さ味わってください‼️
The sea was rough from the morning... and there was a possibility of being sent back right after departure.
The waves were indeed a bit high, but we started looking for dolphins right away and spotted one ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
On the way, we encountered a sea turtle!!
It was actually a couple of sea turtles having their time (laughs).
Then we went for the second round of dolphin searching...
And we found them again!!
Moreover, they were in a group, which was an amazing sight ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
I really felt incredibly lucky, and it was so moving ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
If you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to participate!!
Honestly, I thought I was being tricked when I joined, but... it was amazing (laughs).
海は、朝から荒れ模様・・・
そのまま戻される可能性もありながらの出港
実際少し波は高かったけど・・・イルカを探し始めて直ぐにイルカ確認( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
に移動中には、ウミガメに遭遇!!
なんとウミガメのカップルタイムでした(笑)
そして2回戦目のイルカ探し・・・
またすぐ発見!!
しかも群れで、居たのですごい光景でしたよ( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
ホンマに嘘みたいに運がよく、めちゃくちゃ感動しました( •̀ᴗ•́ )/
ハワイ行ったら是非参加しなくちゃですよ!!
いやホンマに騙されたと思って参加してみたら・・・
すごいよ(笑)
Had a great time riding round the ranch. Great mix of the ATV experience, sightseeing of movie sites and spectacular scenery. Guide was great though more time for photo stops would have been great. Fabulous photo opportunity and Jurassic experience at the end.
The bunker was interesting and it's amazing how many films were made here. The lunch after was tasty and a perfect end to the activity.
I took a different surfing lesson in Hawaii five years ago, but I couldn't stand up at all, so this was my second challenge. Surprisingly, I was able to stand and ride the waves! The instructor must be really good. Surfing is definitely fun when you can catch the waves! I highly recommend it!
サーフィンは5年前に同じハワイで別のレッスン受けましたが、まともに立てづに終わり今回2回目のチャレンジ。
なんと立てて乗れました!
教え方が上手いんでしょうね。
サーフィンはやはり波に乗れれば楽しい!
是非オススメです!
- Although it's called Sandbar, due to the tides, it wasn't a sandy beach but just a shallow area. The height was about thigh-deep.
- During snorkeling, I didn't see a single fish in the 20 minutes.
- There were a lot of people, and it was quite crowded.
- However, the sea turtle watching was great, and I could see them well.
- The staff members were very friendly and fun.
・サンドバーといいつつ、潮の満ち引きの関係で、砂浜にはならずに、ただの浅瀬でした。高さは太ももあたり。
・シュノーケリングは、正味20分で魚は一匹も見えなかったです。
・人も多くてかなりの混雑でした
・ただ、ウミガメウォッチはよく見えて良かったです。
・スタッフの方々はとても気さくで楽しいみなさんでした。

I arrived at Dole 5 minutes before opening, entered through the back door, and was the first to get the Dole ice cup with toppings for $6.50, which I had previously given up on due to the long line!
In Haleiwa, I enjoyed the garlic shrimp at Camaron, which was recommended by our guide, and the rainbow shave ice from Matsumoto Shave Ice. We waited just long enough for those who were late to make it to the next horseback riding session, and I was thrilled when we found the two of them while slowly driving back. I really appreciate the consideration shown by our guide, Kaz.
During the drive, Kaz listened to everyone's requests and kept the atmosphere lively with stories and quizzes, so we had a fun time without getting bored.
My first horseback riding experience was much more enjoyable than I had imagined. The view from the horse was fantastic, and the scenery at Turtle Bay was beautiful. In the forest, there were moments when the hungry horse decided it was mealtime or strayed off the path, but as Kaz explained, the horse listened well to the gentle guidance, making it very cute. Horseback riding was amazing!!! I plan to include horseback riding at the top of my itinerary for my next trip to Hawaii.
On the way back, we made an unexpected stop at a macadamia nut farm (with free coffee and nut cracking), and I was able to take great photos of the murals in the Kaka'ako area from the car window.
It was also possible to get off at our desired locations, and after arriving at the hotel, I got off at Ala Moana and enjoyed shopping at my leisure.
Thank you very much, Kaz, for all your help. I truly appreciate it! (o^―^o)
ドールには開店5分前に到着、裏口から入り、以前行列で断念したドールアイスカップ入りトッピング付き$6.50を一番乗りでゲット!!
ハレイワではガイドさんオススメのカマロンのガーリックシュリンプ、松本シェイブアイスのレインボーアイスを食べました。
集合時間に間に合わなかった方を次の乗馬に間に合うギリギリまで待ち、その後Uターンしながらゆっくり車を走らせてお二人を見つけた時には感激しました。ガイドのカズさんの配慮に脱帽です。
車内では一人一人の要望を聞いて下さり、出来るだけ皆が楽しめるような話やクイズで盛り上げてくれたので道中飽きる事なく楽しく過ごせました。
初めての乗馬は想像していたよりずっと楽しかったです。馬の上からの眺望は素晴らしくタートルベイの景色はとっても綺麗でした。林の中では途中食いしん坊の馬が食事タイムになったり、道を外れたりするのですが、ガイドさんの説明通り手網さばきで馬は素直にいう事を聞いてくれるのでとっても可愛いです。乗馬最高!!!次のハワイ旅行の時にも乗馬は真っ先に予定に入れるつもりです。
帰りには予定になかったマカダミアナッツファームで下車(フリーコーヒーとナッツ割り)、カカアコ地区の壁画も車窓からバッチリ写真撮影が出来ました。
希望の場所でも下車が可能で、ホテル到着後に行きたかったアラモアナで下車しゆっくりと買い物を楽しむ事が出来ました。
ガイドのカズさん、大変お世話になりました。
本当にありがとうございます(o^―^o)
I was truly moved because I never expected to meet so many dolphins! Of course, I was also very satisfied to encounter sea turtles. I had a great experience, especially with a cheerful photographer accompanying us, which was worth more than the price. I felt the same excitement as when I touched a whale shark in Okinawa. I will definitely go back to meet the dolphins in Hawaii in a few years!
まさか、あんなに沢山のイルカに会えると思っていなかったので本当に感動しました❗
もちろん海亀にも遇えて大変満足しています。なかなか陽気なカメラマンさんとも同行できて値段以上の体験ができました
沖縄でジンベイザメに触った体験以来の感動を得られました
また何年かしたら必ずハワイのイルカに会いに行きます
Aloha, Ishipi-san
Congratulations on your graduation from the prestigious Dolphin University! We are all very happy that you were able to have a unique experience in Hawaii! We look forward to the day we can meet again!!!
Mahalo!!

Aloha, いしピー様
この度は名門イルカ大学ご卒業おめでとうございます!!
ハワイならではの経験をして頂けて、スタッフ一同嬉しい限りです!
またお会いできる日を楽しみにしております!!!
Mahalo!!

I am so glad we did the underwater scooters. Staff was professional and knowledge and very patient with the visitors with a language barrier. Would definitely do this again.
