Oahu
The boat ride was enjoyable thanks to the cheerful staff. They also take great photos, which is fantastic. If you want the photos, it costs money, so it's good to bring some. It's at your own risk, but you can experience the ride while holding a GoPro or your phone. I was nervous, but thanks to the friendly and attentive staff, I had an amazing time. There was also a local female staff member who spoke Japanese. She doesn't board the boat but is in the hut, so the procedures are安心. Overall, you can leave everything to them and enjoy in elegance, which was truly wonderful!
移動の船の上も、陽気なスタッフさんのおかげで楽しい。写真もしっかり撮ってくれるし最高です。写真が欲しかったらお金がかかるので持ってくとよし。自己責任ですがゴープロや携帯を持ちながらの体験が可能です。緊張しましたが陽気で丁寧なスタッフさんのおかげで最高な時間を過ごせました。日本語を話せる現地女性のスタッフもいらっしゃいました。その方は船には乗りませんが小屋にいるので手続きなど安心。とにかく全てを任せて優雅に楽しめるのでほんとに最高でした!
I couldn't see many dolphins, but all the staff were bright and fun, making for an enjoyable time. My preschooler was reluctant to snorkel and wanted to stay on the boat, but a staff member picked her up and took her into the water. Although she couldn't snorkel, she had a great time singing while swaying with the waves. I'm very grateful to the staff who tried to entertain the whole family.
イルカはたくさんはみることができませんでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが明るく、楽しい方ばかりで楽しい時間が過ごせました。幼稚園の子供がシュノーケルを嫌がり船に残ろうとしましたが、スタッフのお姉さんが抱きかかえて海に連れて行ってくれました。シュノーケルはできなかったものの、波に揺られながら歌を歌って楽しませてくれて娘もとても楽しく過ごせました。家族全員を楽しませてくれようとしたスタッフさん達に感謝でいっぱいです。
Thank you for your kind comment. We are honored that you enjoyed your experience. Please come back and visit us again!
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけて光栄です。また是非遊びに来てください。
My child expressed a desire to try horseback riding, and after researching various options, I chose this tour that allows even a 7-year-old to ride for the first time. Other tours had age restrictions that we couldn't meet. Additionally, since I had never rented a car before, the fact that we could see the North Shore while horseback riding was a deciding factor.
The result was a great choice! When we stopped by the North Shore in the morning and visited Matsumoto Shave Ice, it was surprisingly empty. We thoroughly enjoyed the shave ice with my child. By the way, when we went back to Haleiwa in the afternoon after horseback riding, Matsumoto Shave Ice had a long line, so it was definitely the right decision to go in the morning!
After that, we moved on to start horseback riding. It was the first time for our whole family, but the guide explained everything in Japanese multiple times during the car ride, and the horses were well-trained, so there were no issues at all. My 7-year-old daughter seemed to have a lot of fun, calmly riding her horse while talking to it. I thought someone would be holding the reins for her, but that wasn't the case (laughs). She was really on her own.
The weather was great, and there were spots where we could see the valley and the ocean, which felt wonderful! My husband and the kids really enjoyed it too. It seemed like they appreciated that it wasn't just going around in circles on the ranch!
I liked it so much that I would definitely want to do it again when we go back to Hawaii!
子供から乗馬をしたいとの希望があり、いろいろ調べたところ、初めての7才でも乗せてもらえるこのツアーを選びました。他のツアーの乗馬は年齢制限にひっかかったので…。また、レンタカーは借りたことがないのでノースショアも見つつ乗馬もできるということも決め手でした。
結果は正解!午前中にノースショアに立ち寄ったときに、マツモトシェイブアイスにいったら、なんとガラガラ。子供とシェイブアイスを十分楽しめました。ちなみに乗馬のあとの午後に再びハレイワに行ったときは、マツモトシェイブアイスはすごく行列していたので、午前中に食べて正解でした!
その後移動して乗馬開始。家族みんな初めての乗馬でしたが、行きの車でガイドさんが日本語で何回も説明してくれたのと、馬がかなり調教されていたので、全く問題なしでした。
7才の娘もとても楽しかったらしく、自分の馬に話しかけながらずっと落ち着いて1人でのっていました。誰か手綱を引いてくれるのかと思ってましたが、違いました(笑)。本当に1人でしたよ。
天気もよくて、渓谷と海が見える場所もあり、とても気持ち良かったです!主人も子供たちもかなり気に入っていました。牧場内をぐるぐるまわるだけではないのが良かったみたいです!
またハワイにいったら是非お願いしたいくらいとっても気に入りました!
This was amazing, I would recommend it to everyone who wants to snorkel with turtles. Not to mention the crew was amazing and very funny. Then we sailed to try to see dolphins and other marine life.
Unlike regular horseback riding in Japan, riding leisurely through nature was the best. I was healed by the sound of the wind rustling the leaves and the scenery!
普段の日本での乗馬とは違い、自然の中をのんびりと歩く乗馬は最高でした。風が葉を揺らの音や景色に癒されました!
I had an awesome experience! Why would need 50 characters?
Due to the high waves, most participants, including my family, experienced seasickness, and the Aloha buckets were in high demand everywhere. We couldn't even see the dolphins underwater.
The onboard lunch and marine sports were canceled, and we had to endure three hours on a rocking boat, returning on the bus while eating the Burger King hamburgers that were supposed to be served on the boat.
It's important to be cautious, as depending on the weather and wave conditions, there is a significant risk of disappointment and wasting a lot of money. If the weather had been good, it might have been a much more moving experience.
I felt that they continued the tour even with relatively large waves, possibly because they had the boat and crew secured. It's better not to join too easily just because you want to swim with dolphins.
波の高い中での催行で、私の家族も含め参加者のほとんどは船酔い状態でアロハバケツがあちこちで大活躍するハメに。イルカを水中で見ることも叶わず。
船上ランチやマリンスポーツも中止となり、大揺れの船上で3時間耐える羽目になり、帰りのバスで本来船上で提供されるはずだったバーガーキングのハンバーガーを食べながら帰ることに。
天候や波の状態次第では大きく期待外れ&大金を捨てる可能性があるので注意が必要です。天気さえ良ければ大きな感動があったかも。
船やクルーをおさえているからか、ある程度の大きな波でも中止にはせず催行となるのかと感じました。イルカと泳ぎたいからと安易に参加しないほうがベター。
Aloha, Aloha Bucket,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. It seems that the ocean conditions were not favorable. Even in poor conditions, there are times when you can swim slowly with the dolphins, so we trust the captain's judgment and set sail. Our tours are dependent on nature, including the weather, the sea, and wild animals, and each tour is different. Please feel free to use the scholarship program again and come visit us! Thank you for your valuable feedback.

I was excited to swim with dolphins in Hawaii for the first time, but at first, the dolphins were jumping around a lot, which raised my expectations. However, when I actually got into the water, the dolphins disappeared, and we moved to the next spot. I managed to see one dolphin, but I was disappointed that I couldn't see the many dolphins I had imagined. The waves were high, and both the boat and the water were rocking, which made me seasick. At first, the sea turtles blended in with the rocks, and I couldn't find them, but I did see about three small ones. The water clarity was a bit murky, and compared to when I went diving in Okinawa, it was somewhat disappointing. However, I appreciated how the crew was bright and worked hard to make the tour enjoyable.
初めてのハワイでイルカと泳げるとわくわくしていましたが、最初はイルカたちがたくさん飛び跳ねていて期待していたのですが、いざ海へ入ってみるとイルカたちがいなくなってしまい、次のポイントへ。なんとか1匹ほどみれましたが、イメージしていたたくさんのイルカをみることができず残念でした。また波が高く船でも海に入ってもゆれて、船酔いしてしまいました。ウミガメも最初、岩と同化していてどこにいるかわからず、小さいかめが3匹ほどみれました。海の透明度もちょっとにごっていて、以前沖縄でダイビングしたときと比べるとちょっと残念でした。ただクルーの方たちが明るく一生懸命ツアーを盛り上げてくれている様子がわかりありがたかったです。
Aloha, Maki,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University tour!
It seems the waves were high and the sea conditions weren't great, but I'm glad you were able to meet the sea turtles and enjoy the waters of Hawaii!
Since nature is our partner, every tour is different. No two tours are ever the same.
If you have the opportunity, please come back and take advantage of the scholarship program.

We’ve been to many Luaus over the years but this one was the best ever. It was personal, informative, and super entertaining. Definitely recommend to others. Each guest felt involved without big crowds and big lines.
Aloha Jess, 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! ^_^
The driver tried to separate our seats, which had two participants. It seemed like they wanted to put their luggage in the front seat? This was our second time, but the lunch was of lower quality compared to last time, and it wasn't BBQ! The biggest disappointment was that we had to snorkel in a line. I think they should advertise it as suitable for beginners. I don't think I'll participate next time.
ドライバーが2人参加の私達の席を別々に座らせようとしました。自分の荷物を前席に置きたいらしく?
今回は2回目でしたが、前回よりランチもランクダウン、BBQ?ではなかった!そして一番の残念は並んでスノーケリングしなければならなかった事。初級者用と宣伝した方が良いと思います。今度は参加しないと思います。
The catamaran was amazing. One of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. The crew were very friendly and seeing the turtles was amazing. Definitely a must do if we ever come back to Hawaii I will do it again
Saki was amazing! I had so much fun!
I was able to swim with dolphins and sea turtles, the ocean was beautiful, and it was a wonderful experience!
I apologize for getting stung by a jellyfish, but thank you for taking care of it right away and for your concern; it healed quickly thanks to you! I will participate again!!!
Sakiさん最高でした!とても楽しかったです!
イルカともウミガメとも泳ぐことができて、海も綺麗で、素晴らしい体験ができました!
クラゲに刺されてしまってご迷惑をおかけ致しましたすぐに処置してくれて、心配もしてくれてありがとうございましたおかげですぐに治りました!また、参加します!!!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! I'm really glad to hear that the jellyfish sting healed quickly! I will also let Saki know, thank you! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! クラゲの刺された跡もすぐに治ったとのことで本当に良かったです! SAKIにもお伝えしておきます、ありがとうございました! MAHALO!!
I was very happy to meet dolphins and, above all, to see the gracefully swimming sea turtles.
It was my first time scuba diving, and on top of seasickness, the tightness of the suit and life jacket was tough to handle.
It would have been easier if I could take it off, but I thought I couldn't go into the water without it, so I got out early, which was disappointing. I wanted to play a little longer, even if it meant getting sick.
The staff were considerate, and it was reassuring to have a good number of people around. The dance was fun!
イルカにも逢え、何よりも優雅に泳ぐ亀仙人に逢えとても幸せ
スキューバーは初めてで、船酔いのうえにスーツと救命胴衣の窮屈さがしんどかった
脱いだら楽になる状態、でも着てないと海に入っちゃ行けないだろうと早々に上がったのは残念。吐いてでももう少し遊びたかった
スタッフさんも気遣いや、人数いて安心でした。ダンス楽しかったです
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We hope you will have the opportunity to try snorkeling again. We look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! また是非、機会がございましたらシュノーケリングに再チャレンジしていただければと思います。またのご参加をお待ちしております、MAHALO!!
During the Obon season, there were a lot of people, and there were some unexpected incidents from the start, but we managed to board the boat and set sail.
My husband and I were a bit nervous about getting into the sea after a long time, but the staff were kind and made it fun, so we felt comfortable participating.
There were about 5 to 6 people who felt sick from seasickness, so I think it's better to have a light breakfast and definitely take motion sickness medication.
Masks, snorkels, and fins are provided, so you can participate in your swimsuit and sandals. Marine shoes are not necessary. We wore long-sleeve rash guards and leggings, so we didn't need wetsuits.
The coldest part was when we were on the boat and exposed to the wind, so it's better to have something warm to wear. There were several people shivering.
It was disappointing that we couldn't do activities like stand-up paddleboarding due to the strong wind, but on the plus side, we got to see a lot of dolphins, which was great.
I definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much.
お盆の時期だけに人が多く、集合時から何やらアクシデントでドタバタしてましたが、なんとか船に乗って出航できました。
旦那と2人 久しぶりに海に入るとあって最初は緊張気味でしたが、スタッフの方も優しく、楽しく盛り上げてくださって、安心して参加できました。
中には船酔いで気分が悪くなっている方も5〜6人いたので 、朝ごはんは少なめに、酔い止めは必ず飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。
マスク、シュノーケル、フィンは付いているので
水着にサンダルで参加できます。
マリンシューズは不要でした。
私たちは長袖ラッシュガードにレギンス着用なのでウェットスーツは不要でした。
船に上がってからボートで風にあたっているときが一番寒かったので、暖かい羽織りものがあった方がいいです。
ガタガタ震えている人が何人もいたので。
風が強くて、スタンダップパドル等のアクティビティができながったのは残念でしたが
その分イルカたちにはたくさん会えたので良かったです。
ぜひまた参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the troubles. Nevertheless, we are grateful to hear that you enjoyed the tour, and our staff will continue to strive for improvement. We look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! トラブルでご迷惑をお掛けしてしまいましたこと、誠に申し訳ございませんでした。 それでもツアーを楽しかったと言っていただき、スタッフ一同感謝の念と共にこれからも精進していこうと思います。またのご参加をお待ちしております、MAHALO!!
It was so much fun! The crew was very kind! Once we got out to sea, it was quite rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication! We gave a $20 tip for the two of us!
とっても楽しかったですー!船の人も優しい!沖に出て、結構揺れるので、酔い止め服用をおすすめします!チップは二人で20ドル渡しました!
We gathered at 5:50 AM and received explanations about important points during the bus ride to the port. I was really excited to hear that the chance of seeing dolphins was over 90%, and as we got off the bus and headed towards the boat, we encountered a sea turtle right away! I didn't see any dolphins at the first spot, but I was able to see several at the second spot! During snorkeling, I saw many beautiful fish and sea turtles. Not everyone was able to participate in the marine sports, which was one of the main reasons I joined this tour, so I was really disappointed that I couldn't take part. The staff on the boat were all very nice, and I had a really enjoyable day.
If I could suggest two areas for improvement:
The first is regarding the boat's restrooms. Both were broken, and it was cold and uncomfortable to have to hold it in.
The second is that I received an email meant for participants on a different day, which was mistakenly sent to me (it was from another instructor). I pointed this out in an email, but I didn't receive a response, and then I got a second incorrect email. Since it contained a photo of me, I hope they will be more careful with personal information.
朝5:50集合で、港までのバスの中では注意事項などの説明を受けました。
イルカが観れる確率は90%以上ということでとってもワクワクしていると、車を降りて船に向かう道で早速ウミガメに出会いました!
イルカのポイント1つ目では私は見れなかったのですが、2つ目のスポットでイルカを何頭か観れました!
シュノーケリングでは綺麗な魚やウミガメがたくさん観れました。
マリンスポーツは全員ができるわけではありませんでした。こちらのツアーに参加した大きな目的のひとつだったので参加できなくてすごく残念でした。
船のスタッフさん達は全員が良い人でとても楽しい1日を過ごすことができました。
改善してほしい点を2つ挙げると
1つ目は船のお手洗いについてです。2つとも壊れていて、お手洗いを我慢しなきゃいけなかったのが寒くて辛かったです。
2つ目は、後日、別の日の参加者宛のメールが誤送信されてきました。(他のインストラクターからでした。)間違ったのかと思い指摘のメールをしたのですが、そちらには返事が来ず、その後2回目の誤ったメールがきました。顔写真が載っていたので、個人情報の扱いには注意してほしいと思います。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. However, we apologize for any inconvenience regarding the marine sports, the restroom on the boat, and the thank-you letter after your participation. We will strive to improve based on your valuable feedback to ensure a more comfortable experience for our customers. We hope you will visit us again in the future. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! ツアーをお楽しみいただけたようで幸いです。 ですが、マリンスポーツや船上でのお手洗い、そして参加後の感謝状に関してご不便をお掛けしてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。 いただいた貴重なご意見を元に、お客様により快適に過ごしていただけるよう精進してまいります。 またの機会がございましたら遊びにお越しいただければと思います。MAHALO!!
The cheerful staff made it a fun experience. It was great that they could understand a little Japanese too. The shuttle service was very smooth and arrived on time. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try parasailing!
陽気なスタッフさんで楽しかったです。
少し日本語も通じるので良かったです^_^
送迎もとてもスムーズで時間通りにきていただきました^_^またいく機会があったらパラセーリングしたいと思います^_^
I was really interested in the Angel's Sea experience, so I decided to participate. After checking reviews, magazines, and online information, I learned that the tide is better in the early morning, so I joined the morning session. When I woke up, the weather was clear, and I was excited as I was taken to the boat dock, but the weather started to look a bit suspicious. It didn't seem like it would rain, but there were quite a few clouds. Despite the situation, we boarded the boat and set sail for the spot! The Japanese guide (female) who was with us in the shuttle and on the boat provided very clear explanations and kept everyone entertained with her bright energy.
First, we stopped the boat at a spot where turtles are known to appear for some watching. Although they didn't come right in front of us, we did see quite a few turtles. Everyone was excited and taking photos. Next, we headed to the sandbar. As I mentioned earlier, there were many clouds, so it felt a bit chilly when we arrived at the sandbar! I was disappointed because I had relied on the information for the morning session, but the tide was not very low, only about waist-deep. The water level was lower than expected, around ankle-deep, and without any sunshine, it felt cold and a bit murky. Because of this, the snorkeling experience was less enjoyable.
It seems that the timing might have been off, or perhaps the volcanic activity on the Big Island affected the weather, causing many clouds and a whitish appearance around us. There were mountains where Jurassic World was filmed, and I couldn't help but think how beautiful it would have been if the weather had been clear! I was filled with regret, imagining the stunning scenery like in the experience photos. This time, we had a light meal with sandwiches, which were quite tasty. Drinks like cola, Sprite, tea, and other beverages were available for free.
For those who will participate in the future, I can only say that if you're lucky enough to have clear weather, you will have an amazing time! Locals also mentioned that the early morning is better for the tide, so it might be a good idea to choose the morning session. All we can do is hope for good weather. I hope to join again someday in perfect sunny conditions.
天使の海すごく興味が有り参加しました。口コミ情報や雑誌やネットなどの説明を見て朝早い方が潮引きが良いと知り朝早い時間帯で参加しました。朝起きてかなりの晴天でワクワクしながら船乗りばまで送迎してもらうなかなんだか天気が怪しい感じ。雨は降りそうもないけど雲がかなり多くなってきた。状況が変わらず船に乗りスポットまで出航!送迎車から船の中もずっと一緒に乗っていた日本人(女性)のガイドさんは、とても分かりやすい説明に非常に明るいテンションでみんなを楽しく和ませていました。まず亀の出るスポットで船のエンジンを止めてウォッチング。本当の目の前には現れなかったものの、結構亀が出現しました。みんな興奮して写真を撮っていました。次にサンドバーに向かいました。最初にも言ったように雲が多かったのでちょっと肌寒い感じの中サンドバーに到着!しっかり情報をあてにして朝の参加にしたのに残念。潮引きがあまく腰位迄の深さでした。足首程度の水位の期待が外れて晴れ間がないから寒いし少し濁って見える感じでした。なのでシュノーケルも楽しさが半減でした。時期が悪かったのかハワイ島の噴火の影響で風に流れて雲が多く辺りが白っぽい感じになってしまっているそうです。ジェラシックワールドの撮影された山があったりで、これが晴天だったらどんなに綺麗なんだろう!体験談の写真にのような素晴らしい景色なんだろうと悔やんでしょうがない気持ちでいっぱいでした。今回は軽食付きでサンドイッチを頂きました。普通に美味しかったです。ドリンクはコーラ、スプライト、紅茶、お茶などが飲み放題でした。これから参加する方には運良く晴天でであれば最高な時間を過ごせるよ!としか言えません。現地の方に聞いても朝早い方が潮引きが良いと言っていましたので、朝早い方便を選んだ方が良いかもしれません。天気は願うしかありません。いつかまた最高の晴天で参加したいです。
I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!
午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる2時間半のツアーは最高でした!時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます!他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます!
Total package from online reservation, round-trip Transportation, LARGE SHIP, meal, entertainment & position of ship for Friday Night Fireworks over Waikiki, panoramic views of Waikiki, & stunning sunset, easily 5 STARS. Must Do Activity.
I chose the 2-hour horseback riding course. There were many people at the reception, but most seemed to be on the 1-hour course, with only my spouse and I, along with what appeared to be three American family members, in the 2-hour group! We had one instructor for every five people, which was an excellent condition to start with.
This was my second time at Kualoa, and although I have ridden horses several times domestically, the scenery and comfort of this course were so exceptional that it’s hard to put into words how "amazing" it was. The instructor explained everything in English, which was a bit of a challenge for us, but we managed to listen intently. We also communicated with the American father, and their smiles and the charming movements of their horses helped make the experience enjoyable and the two hours flew by. (Since preparation and explanations take about 20 to 30 minutes, some might find the 1-hour course insufficient.) I have a pleasant muscle ache around the inner thigh area, but I can definitely "recommend" this experience!
乗馬2時間コースを選びました。
受付にはたくさんの方がいたのですが、大半の方は1時間コースのようで、2時間組は我々夫婦のほかに、(おそらく)アメリカ人の親子3人だけ!
5人に一人のインストラクターが付き、この上ない条件でのスタート。
クアロアは二度目、国内でも何度か馬に乗った経験はありますが、今回のコースの景色と気持ちよさは、言葉で表現するのが難しいくらいの”最高”でした。
インストラクターは英語での説明、我々にはちょっと高いハードルでしたが、何とか必死に聞き取りました。USお父さんともコミュニケーションをとり、彼らの笑顔と愛馬の愛嬌ある動きにも助けられ…、楽しくあっという間の2時間でした。(準備と説明で2~30分かかるため、1時間コースでは物足りない方もいるのではないでしょうか?)
内腿の付け根あたりに心地よい筋肉痛が残りますが、間違いなく”おすすめ”できます!
It was Amazing and terrifying at the same time! I'd do it again.
Zero bad things to say about the whole experience!
First, the bus driver, Rey, was friendly and prompt!
The host, Jenner, was also extremely friendly and funny!
Mike and Tyson, the dudes on the boat, were insanely helpful and welcoming!
If you're staying in Waikiki, I recommend taking their shuttle. There are various location pickups throughout Waikiki, so you can just walk to one.
The tour starts at the sandbar, where you can walk around explore. They also have a volleyball net setup, which is super cool. Next, we are served freshly cooked burgers and snacks on the boat. Then, after lunch, we sail to an area where we can turtle watch. Lastly, we were taken to a nearby reef, where we could snorkel for an hour. They provide all the proper snorkeling gear and life vests, so no need to bring your own.
This was my first trip to Hawaii with my family. The ocean was like paradise, and I was right to check the tide times in advance for this day. Although it wasn't completely like a sandbar, the beautiful sand reflecting on the water was truly a sight that you can't find in Japan. The kids were also impressed, but our time there was limited to taking photos or playing volleyball. The volleyball court was taken over by some very energetic foreigners, and the Japanese boat team was just watching. I felt that if there were more activities to enjoy here, it would create a better experience and more memorable moments. Things like rubber boats, trampolines, water polo, water guns, etc. would really enhance the experience.
But the ocean was beautiful.
I also heard about a BBQ lunch, but it was just a burger, which was disappointing.
私自身、初めてのハワイで家族をつれての旅行でした。天国の海、期待して前もって潮の時間も確認してこの日にして正解でした。完全には中洲みたいな砂浜がでている状態ではありませんでしたが、膝下くらいで綺麗な砂が海面に反射してまさしく日本にはにない綺麗な海でした。子供たちも感動しておりましたが、ココでの時間は写真撮影か、バレーしかありませんでした。バレーボールはハイテンションな外人さんに占領され日本人ボートチームはただソレを見ているだけでした。ココでもっと過ごすに楽しめる物を催してくれたら、差別化がもっと出来るし、思い出も、感動も倍増するのでは・・と感じました。ゴムボート、トランポリン、水球、水鉄砲、エトセトラ・・・
でも海は綺麗でした
あと、BBQランチと聴いていましたがただのバーガーでした
残念でした
I was worried about the weather, but everything went smoothly. Our group consisted of four family members, another family of four, and a couple. Everyone was Japanese. Swimwear is recommended. Towards the end, there was a service where you get splashed, so you will get wet. I wore aqua shoes so that my footwear wouldn't get wet, but I was told to take them off when jumping. I personally think flip-flops would be fine as long as you are careful not to slip when boarding. If you're worried, wear non-slip shoes. I took photos from above with my own camera and also purchased the photo service SD card for $30. We had two flights with two people each from our family, but we were able to buy the card for all four of us for $30. It seemed like not many others purchased it, but there were about 100 images on the card. It’s a nice keepsake, and I’m glad I bought it. When we got off at the end, I gave the captain a $30 tip for the four of us. I used a total of $60 in cash.
天候が心配でしたが、無事にできました。
ウチが4人家族、他に4人家族がもう1組とカップル1組。
全員が日本人でした。
服装は水着が良いです。
最後の方にサービス?の尻ポチャがあり、濡れます。
履物は濡れても良いように、アクアシューズを履いていきましたが
飛ぶ時に裸足になるように言われ、脱ぎました。
乗船の時に滑らないように気を付ければ、ビーサンでも良いかなと
個人的には思います。心配なら滑らない履物で。
自分のカメラで上から撮影して、フォトサービスのSDカードも
30ドルで購入しました。
4人家族で2人ずつの2フライトでしたが、4人分まとめて
30ドルで購入出来ました。
他の方はあまり購入してないようでしたが、カード内に
約100枚の画像が入っていました。
記念に残るし、購入して良かったと思います。
最後の降りる時に船のキャプテンに、チップを4人分として
30ドル渡しました。
現金は合計で60ドル使用しました。
On the day I signed up, I received a cancellation call from the local company around 9 AM due to strong winds (I was glad I used the hotel phone since I didn't have an overseas phone). They asked if I wanted to reschedule for another day, and I initially canceled. However, since the weather was bad and other optional activities were also canceled, I had some free time and was able to adjust the schedule via email and participate again. As an option, having the staff take photos while flying costs an additional $30 (including an SD card, which they hand over to you). Also, since I had a great time, I gave a tip to the boat staff.
申し込んだ日は強風のため、午前9時頃ホテルに直接現地の会社から中止の電話が来ました(海外用の電話は持っていなかったので、ホテルの電話にしておいて良かったです)。別の日にするか聞かれ一度キャンセルしたのですが、天候が悪く他のオプション参加も中止になったため時間が空いてしまい、再度メールにて日程調整して参加することができました。オプションとして、飛んでいるところをスタッフに撮影してもらうと+30ドルです(SDカード込みで、そのまま渡してくれます)。又、楽しかったので、ボートのスタッフへチップを渡しました。
I participated in the 120m plan available only in the early morning. My wife, who is not fond of heights, was worried about joining, but once she experienced it, she found that she didn't feel much height at all and was able to enjoy the pleasant breeze, the blue ocean, and the view of Diamond Head.
Although it comes at an additional cost, I recommend the $30 photo package. We were able to get about 100 photos taken.
早朝限定の120mプランで参加しました。
高い所が苦手な妻は、参加を心配していましたが、実際に体験してみると、高さをあまり感じず、気持ち良い風と、青い海、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色を楽しむことができたようです。
現地での別料金になりますが、30$の写真がおすすめです。
100枚ほど写真をとってもらえました。
I experienced 150m parasailing on my honeymoon. I discovered this option while searching for activities on my own, as the optional tours from the travel agency were far from the hotel and quite expensive. I was attracted by the proximity to the hotel, reasonable pricing, and early morning schedule, so I decided to book it.
On the day of the experience, they picked me up close to the hotel, and we set sail immediately upon arrival, which was great as there was no wasted waiting time. During the experience, the atmosphere was very homey, with everyone cheering and clapping as others took off and returned.
However, the waves in the Hawaiian sea were higher than I had imagined, so I think taking motion sickness medication is necessary. There were long periods of time when we were stationary during others' experiences, and the boat rocked enough for waves to come inside, which made me feel a bit queasy.
But once I was up in the air, it was truly a breathtaking view! From 150m high, I could see all of Waikiki, and the scenery was exhilarating. Before flying, they asked, "Are you okay with the GoPro?" and "Do you want to buy an SD card?" I recommend both. The landing in the water was dynamic, and if you mention that you want to purchase a card, they will take plenty of photos.
When I returned home and looked at the photos on my computer, there were over 100 images! I was amazed that it was only $30 for that. I was really happy about it.
With a 7:45 AM pickup, we arrived back at the hotel shortly after 9 AM, so I was able to spend the rest of the day meaningfully. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
新婚旅行で150mのパラセイリングを体験しました。旅行会社のオプショナルツアーはホテルから遠く、体験料も高かったので、個人で色々探しているときに発見。
ホテルからも近く、体験料も良心的、朝早い、ということに魅力を感じて申し込みました。
当日はホテルの近くまでお迎えに来てくれて、着いたら即出航。無駄な待ち時間もなく、よかったです。
体験中は同乗の方たちが飛んでいったり、戻ってくるとかけ声と拍手で盛り上げながらだったので、とてもアットホームな雰囲気でした。
ただ、ハワイの海は想像以上に波が高かったので、酔い止めの服用は必要だと思いました。
他の方の体験中は停船している時間も長く、揺られて船のなかに波が入ってくるくらいでしたので、途中から酔いそうになりました。
しかし、いざ飛んでみると、まさに絶景!150mの高さからワイキキを一望でき、すばらしい眺めに大興奮です。
飛ぶ前に「ジャボンOK?」「SDカードは買う?」と聞かれるので、両方をおすすめします。海への着水もダイナミックですし、カードを購入すると伝えるとたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
帰国してからパソコンで見ると、100枚以上のデータが!これで$30とは驚きです。
本当に嬉しかったです。
7時45分のピックアップで9時過ぎにはホテルに到着したので、その後の時間も有意義に過ごせました。
素晴らしい体験になりました。ありがとうございました。
I participated in a 2-hour horseback riding course (with transportation included). I was worried about my 10-year-old daughter and our physical stamina, but it was no problem at all. I had read many comments about discomfort in the rear, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, and I was fine. The horses were very well-behaved, so I felt safe riding them. Occasionally, they would stop to graze, but I thought that without that, it wouldn't feel like I was really horseback riding. It was a wonderful 2-hour experience with scenery that you can't easily find in Japan. I'm glad I went.
I was concerned about the long wait time since the transportation schedule was fixed, but we rode from 9:30 for two hours, and the bus left at 1 PM. It was just right to have lunch and browse the souvenir shop afterward.
乗馬2時間コース(送迎付き)に参加しました。
10歳の娘がいること、体力的なことなど不安がありましたが、全然問題ありませんでした。お尻が痛くなるとの書き込みが多く心配していましたが、思ったほどのことはなく、大丈夫でした。
お馬さん達がおりこうさんで、安心して乗っていられます。時々道草を食いますが、これがないと自分で乗馬している感じがしないかも?と思うくらいです。日本ではなかなか体験できない2時間の乗馬とすばらしい景色。行ってよかったです。
送迎時間が決まっているため、待ち時間が長いことを心配していましたが、9時半~2時間の乗馬で帰りは1時にバス出発でした。お昼を食べてお土産屋さんをひやかしていたらちょうどいい感じです。
I participated in Dolphin University. Since it was the second trip (meeting at 9 AM), I didn't have to wake up early, and I was in great shape, but the atmosphere on the boat was more intense than I expected (laughs).
Even in August, it can get really cold on the boat, so please bring extra bath towels. A hoodie is a must.
Once you spot a dolphin, you need to jump into the sea immediately and swim hard, or the dolphins will swim away. You'll be kicking with your fins until your legs are sore.
If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be tough unless you train in a pool in Japan first.
My 9-year-old son ran out of energy during his second attempt out of three and rested on the boat for the third try.
On the second trip, there was no lunch on the boat, and we only received a Whopper Jr. from Burger King on the way back. It's delicious, though.
イルカ大学、参加してきました。2便(9時集合)だったので早朝から起きることもなく、体調も万全でしたが、船上は予想以上にスパルタです(笑)。
8月でも船上はホントにガタガタするくらい寒いので、バスタオルは多めに持っていってください。パーカー必須です。
イルカを見つけたら即海へ飛び込み、ガチで泳がないとイルカが遠くへ行ってしまうので、足がパンパンになるまでフィンキックします。
泳ぎの苦手な方は日本のプールでトレーニングしてからじゃないとハードかも。
9歳の息子は3回のトライのうち2回目で体力が尽き、3回目は船上で休んでました。
2便は船上ランチはなく、帰りのバスでバーガーキングのワッパージュニアを配られるだけです。美味しいけどね。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! This time of year is the dolphin birthing season, and some dolphins may be swimming faster, so the tour might have been a bit challenging. I hope your whole family enjoyed it! If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to come back and visit again. Thank you, MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! この時期はイルカの出産シーズンで一部のイルカの泳ぎが速くなっていることもあり、ツアーは少しハードだったかと思います。ご家族皆様、お楽しみいただけましたでしょうか? また機会がございましたら皆様で遊びにお越しいただければと思います。ありがとうございました、MAHALO!!
