Oahu
The pineapple garden at Dole was a bit rushed due to time constraints, but I was satisfied with the sightseeing! There were height and weight restrictions for horseback riding, so I chose this course, but in reality, they didn't check my weight or height closely, so I thought I should have gone for the mountain course instead. The weight limit was stated as 102 kilograms, but the trainer looked like he was over 120 kilograms, haha. My child's height was also not enough, but it was okay!
I can't speak English, but since a Japanese guide explained things along the way, there were no issues!
If I go again, I would definitely choose a longer horseback riding experience on a course with better scenery!
Thank you!
ドールのパイナップル園とか、何せ時間が少しずつだったので少し慌ただしかったが、観光面では満足でした!
乗馬の身長体重規制があったので、このコースを選びましたが、実際には体重も身長も細かく言われなかったので山のコースにすれば良かった〜( ´Д`)y━・~~と思いました。
体重も102キロ迄とありましたが、実際トレーナーの方は120キロオーバーに見えました笑
子供の身長も全然足りませんでしたがオーケーでした!
英語も喋れませんが、予め、日本のガイドの方が道中で説明してくれたので問題ありませんでした!
次回行くことがあるなら、是非もっと長く乗馬が出来て、景色の良いコースにします!
ありがとうございました!
Thank you for participating. The seaside course is for ages 7 and up, while the canyon course is for ages 5 and up, with a weight limit of 102 kg for both courses. Please be sure to try the longer canyon course next time. I'll ask the trainer about their weight to see if they're following the rules. (laughs)
ご参加ありがとうございました。
海辺コースは7歳から、渓谷コースは5歳から、両コースとも体重上限102キロ。の条件のみです。次回、長いコース渓谷を是非お試し下さい。
守っているかどうか、トレーナーの体重聞いてみます。(笑)
It's a really fun activity. Before experiencing it, I was worried that it might be scary, but it wasn't scary at all. The view of Hawaii from above was amazing, and it felt wonderful to feel the wind. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to experience this again. I also highly recommend the SD card for the photos I bought for $30!
とっても楽しいアクティビティです。体験する前は、怖いのかなーって心配していましたが、全く怖くなんかなかったし、上から眺めるハワイの風景は素晴らしく、風を受けて最高に気持ちよかったです。又ハワイに来た時は、ぜひこちらで体験したいと思います。30で買った写真のSDカードもぜひおススメです!
It was my first horseback riding experience in Hawaii. I thought the sun would be strong, so I participated wearing sunglasses and long sleeves. There were few participants in the 2-hour course, which made it very enjoyable. Unfortunately, I could only take photos while the horse was walking, so I missed the chance to take pictures at the sign in the filming location of Jurassic Park. I participated with my sister and niece, so it felt like we were taking pictures of each other from the front and back. It was helpful that there was a bag on the horse that could hold a plastic bottle and my phone. I would like to participate again.
ハワイでははじめての乗馬体験でした。
日差しが強いかと思い、サングラスと長袖で参加しました。
2時間コースの参加者が少なく、とても楽しく出来ました。
写真は馬が歩きながらのみでしたので、せっかくのジュラシックパークの映画ロケ地での看板がある所で写真が撮れず残念でした。
お姉ちゃんと、姪っ子との参加でしたので、前からと後ろからの写真の撮り合いという感じでした。
馬にペットボトルと携帯が入る位の袋がついており助かりました。
また参加したいと思います。
Taking my mothers on the 1000-foot course! We challenged ourselves to 150m!!
While others were younger and went for the 800-foot course, I was worried about how it would go, but my mothers seemed to have an amazing time. The view from 1000 feet was absolutely incredible, and I believe the panoramic view from Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head is something you'll cherish for a lifetime!
As for my daughter and me, while we enjoyed ourselves, my husband, who has a fear of heights, was quite tense. When I asked him how it was, he said it was really scary, but it was still a great experience! We were in the middle of the group, so we managed to avoid getting seasick, but it seems that those who jumped first and last had a tough time with seasickness. I recommend that anyone prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand! It was quite bumpy and challenging! Also, you won't get wet at all, so make sure to wear makeup and bring sunglasses! The sunlight is strong and can be quite painful!
母達を連れて1000フィートコース!150mへチャレンジ!!
他の方は若いのに800フィートコースでしたので、どーなることやらと心配しましたが、母達はめちゃくちゃ楽しかったみたいで、1000フィートから見る景色は、それはそれはすごくて、パールハーバーからダイアモンドヘッドまでパノラマの景色は一生モノだと思います!
娘の私たちは、楽しさもですが、夫は高所恐怖症な為、ジーーットしてたので、どーだった?って聞いたら、めちゃくちゃ怖かったーーっと言っていましたが、それでもいい体験で最高でした!私たちは真ん中のメンバーだったので、酔うことなく過ごせましたが、最初に飛んだ人達と最後の人達は船酔いが半端なかったみたいなので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいと思います!かなり揺れてかなり大変です!あと、全く濡れる事はないので、顔はしっかり化粧して、サングラスは持っていった方が良いと思います!日差しが強くて痛いくらいです!
I was a bit anxious with just a simple explanation, but the horses were very well trained, and I was able to enjoy the experience. The scenery was also beautiful, and I think I was able to see a lot of Kualoa Ranch through this one experience. The guide was very kind, taking photos during the experience and also taking pictures for me from great spots.
簡単な説明のみで、不安でしたが馬がとても良く調教されており楽しんで体験することができました。
景色もとても良く、この体験一つでクアロアランチを大体みて回れたと思います。
ガイドさんもとても優しく、体験中写真を撮ってくれたり、いい場所からの写真を代わりに撮ってくれたりしてとても優しかったです。
This is my second time experiencing horseback riding, having first tried it in Haleiwa. Last time, I rode for an hour in the mountains, but this time at Kualoa, the ride was longer and I was excited because it’s a filming location for Jurassic Park. It was quite difficult to take photos while riding, and I was disappointed that I couldn't capture them as I had hoped.
ハレイワではじめて乗馬を体験し、今回で二度目になります。前回は一時間で山の中の乗馬でしたがクアロアでの乗馬は時間も長くジュラシックパークのロケ地ということもあって期待していました。馬に乗りながら写真を撮ることはなかなか難しく、思うようには撮れなかったのが残念でした。
I experienced it at 120 meters. It was scarier than I expected, but the weather was great and the scenery was really beautiful. I'm not sure if we were actually in the air for 8 minutes; it might have felt short because it was so much fun.
Including us, there were 5 groups, and we returned to the port after an hour, so participating in the morning allowed us to make good use of the rest of the day.
Especially before heading out to sea, the boat swayed a lot, so if you're feeling even a little anxious, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.
120mで体験しました。思っていたよりも怖かったですが、天気にも恵まれて景色はすごく綺麗。実際に8分空にいたのかは疑問?楽しかったので短くて感じたのかもしれませんが。
私たちも含めて5グループで、一時間後には港に帰ってきたので、朝参加するとその後の時間も有効活用できたのでよかったです。
特に沖に出るまでは船がすごくゆれるので、少しでも不安な方は酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがいいかもしれないです。
Awesome time and great staff! Will have to do this one again next time.
Everyone was friend and outgoing! Great staff!!! (:
We made an internet reservation on-site with three guys who got along well. It was all of our first time horseback riding, but we had an incredibly fun time unique to Hawaii. Everything from check-in to the explanations was in English. If that's okay with you, there are no problems at all. I highly recommend it.
気の合うメンズ3人で現地インターネット予約。3人とも初めての乗馬でしたが、ハワイならではのサイコーに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。受付から説明、何もかも英語オンリーです。その点オッケーならば全く問題ナシ。おすすめです。
A Japanese instructor guided us, making it reassuring even for those who struggle with English. On the day of the trip, the waves were rough, and many people got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand.
日本人インストラクターがガイドをしてくれ、英語が苦手な人でも安心。
当日は波が激しかったので、船酔い者続出だったけど、酔いやすい人はよいどめのんでったほうがいいよ。
Aloha Mr./Ms. Maaa,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University.
We hope you enjoyed your half day with Professor Dolphin in the beautiful nature of West Oahu. Our staff and crew are looking forward to the day we can meet you again.

My son (7 years old), who can't swim, was thrilled to chase dolphins and see green sea turtles using a life jacket and snorkel. He was able to see dolphins swimming right under his feet, and those rare sights are etched in his memory. He is now saying he wants to participate in Manta University on the Big Island to meet manta rays next time.
Participating in Dolphin University and experiencing the friendliness of the captain and staff made for a great family outing, and we are very satisfied.
泳げない息子(7歳)が、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルを使ってイルカを追いかけたり、アオウミガメを見たりで、大喜びをしていました。また、泳いでいるイルカが足の下を泳ぐのを見れたり、中々、出会えない光景が目に焼き付いています。息子は今度、ハワイ島でマンタ大学にも参加してマンタに会いたい言っています。
イルカ大学に参加して、フレンドリーな船長とスタッフの明るさに触れて、いい家族サービスが出来て満足です。
Aloha m.atsumi,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University.
We are very pleased to hear that your child enjoyed it. Next time, please bring your family to the manta tour on the Big Island!
We look forward to seeing you!!

From a beach about an hour by bus from Waikiki, we took a boat to the dolphin habitat. Since it was early in the morning, I boarded the boat still feeling sleepy, but the nice weather and sea breeze woke me up completely. The captain sensed the atmosphere where dolphins might be and stopped the boat. In less than 10 minutes, we arrived at the dolphin habitat, put on our snorkels and fins, and jumped into the sea.
While swimming in the ocean, I had the fun experience of seeing dolphins from various angles! I wonder how the captain can easily tell where the dolphins are. I'm curious...
I was fortunate enough to have three opportunities to see them! For those who have fewer chances, the instructors guide you and create opportunities to see the dolphins, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine!
Additionally, I was able to see dolphins swimming in groups and alongside the boat, which gave a lively and free impression, quite different from what you see in an aquarium. It's important to maintain an environment where wild dolphins can thrive.
At Dolphin University, after dolphin watching, we had free time to enjoy turtles, tropical fish, stand-up paddleboarding, and slides! The staff kept the atmosphere lively, making it a fun experience for families, couples, and friends alike.
Thanks to this experience, I was exhausted and fell asleep on the bus ride back. I graduated safely!
ワイキキからバスで1時間弱の海岸から、船でイルカ生息域まで行きました。
朝早かったので、眠気眼のまま船に乗り込みましたが、良い天気と海の風でスッキリ目が覚めました。
イルカの居そうな雰囲気を船長が察知し船を停留。10分足らずでイルカ生息域までついて、シュノーケルとフィンを身に着け、いざ海へ。
海の中で泳ぎながら、さまざまな角度からイルカを見る体験をすることができ、楽しかったです!
どうやってイルカが居そうな場所が簡単にわかるんだろう。気になる。。。
私は幸運にも3回も機会に恵まれました♪機会が少ない人は、インストラクターの方が誘導してくれて、見る機会を作ってくれるので、泳ぎが得意でない方でも大丈夫!
また、イルカが群れになって泳いでいく姿や、船とともに泳ぐ姿なども見ることができ、水族館で見る姿とは異なり、自由で快活な印象を受けました~。野生のイルカが生息できる環境維持って、必要ですね(^^♪
イルカ大学では、イルカウォッチングの後、自由時間があるため、亀や熱帯魚たち、SUPやスライダーなども楽しむことができました!
スタッフの皆さんも盛り上げてくれるので、家族連れやカップル、友人同士など様々なお客さんがいた中、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。
おかげさまで、帰りのバスでは、疲れて爆睡でしたzzz
無事大学卒業!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed everything from dolphin swims to snorkeling and marine sports! If you have the opportunity, please come join our tours again! 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! イルカスイムからシュノーケル、マリンスポーツまで、全体を通してご満喫いただけたようで何よりです! また機会がございましたら弊社ツアーに遊びにいらしてくださいね!MAHALO!!
Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.
The staff spoke only broken Japanese, but most of the communication was in English, and they were friendly with a sense of humor. It felt refreshing to be at a place that was more expensive than the hotel I stayed at in Waikiki.
スタッフの方は片言の日本語を話すだけで
殆どが英語でしたがフレンドリーでジョークもあり。
ワイキキの宿泊ホテルより高く上がり気分爽快でした。
The weather was nice, and it felt great. I could see a beautiful view over the blue sea. It felt wonderful to soar high in the sky! I definitely want to do it again.
天気が良くてとてもきもちがよく青い海の上でとても綺麗な景色がみえました。
空高く上がりとてもきもちよかったです!
ぜひまたやりたいです。
I made a last-minute reservation just one day ago and went! It was fun! The round-trip shuttle service to and from the hotel was great!
1日前に直前予約して、いきました!
たのしかったです!ホテルまでの行き帰り送迎もあるし、よかったです!
I would highly recommend doing this adventure! This was my second time but my husband, and 2 kids (ages 10 & 7) first time. Easy to find the location and the people were very friendly. It was easy to do and once you catch the wave, it's so exhilarating. It is very cool to see Waikiki Beach from the ocean too! Such a great memory to share with my family.
Aloha, Andrea:
Mahalo for taking time to write a generous 5 star review! We are glad that your family had a wonderful time. Waikiki Beach is the only place in the world that you can experience Outrigger Canoe Surfing, and Outrigger Canoe is a very significant transportation that influenced Hawaiian culture. Outrigger Canoe paddling is also the only Hawaii State sport. We hope that more people will have a chance to experience this cultural activity, and that you will also return again soon.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The place I wanted to visit the most in Hawaii this time!! Since the selected locations were only in the Waikiki area, I stayed at the Ala Moana Hotel and walked nearby ^ - ^ I was told it would be called in both Japanese and English, but it was all in English ^ - ^
The local guide was Japanese and very cheerful and wonderful (^^) I was able to see honu (sea turtles) and it was amazing!! I also saw manta rays!!
When getting off the boat to the sandbar, it was a bit deep (about waist-deep for me at 160 cm), which surprised me, but as you go towards the center, it becomes about calf-deep! If you ask the crew or captain for photos, they take great pictures for you! They can even take you on board w
The weather was nice and it was very beautiful!!
今回のハワイでは一番行きたかったところ!!ピックされる場所が、ワイキキエリアだけだったため、アラモアナ ホテルに宿泊した私は近くまで歩きました^ - ^日本語と英語で呼ばれるってことだったけど、全部英語でした^ - ^
現地のガイドの方は日本人の方で、すごく明るくて素敵な方でした(^^)ホヌも見ることができて最高!!マンタも見れました!!
船からサンドバーに降りる時、少し深くて(160センチの私で腰くらい)びっくりしたけど、中心に行くと、ふくらはぎくらいの深さになります!クルーやキャプテンに写真を頼むと、いい感じに写真撮ってくれます!のせられますw
お天気も良くとっても綺麗でした!!
Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.
残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました
We participated in a trip to Hawaii with my two nieces and my husband, making it a memorable experience on April 27, during the first half of Golden Week. Since we were staying at the Hilton, we walked to the nearby harbor meeting point, which was easy to find. Only my nieces actually "flew," while my husband and I observed from the boat that was towing them, so I thought we would be sharing the experience with other participants, but luckily it was a private tour. Right after boarding, we quickly bonded with the local American crew, and the atmosphere was friendly and cheerful, allowing our whole family to have a great time! However, the moment when my nieces suddenly soared high into the sky during the takeoff was a bit nerve-wracking. It was just a little over a 30-minute experience, but both my nieces and we were able to create unforgettable memories!
GW前半を利用して姪たち2人と私たち夫婦の4人でのハワイ旅行の「めだま」として4月27日に参加しました。ヒルトンに滞在していたためすぐお隣のハーバーの集合場所(すぐわかりました)へは徒歩で行きました。実際に「飛行(なのかしら)」するのは姪たち2人だけで私たち夫婦は牽引するボートからの見学でしたので、他の参加者さんたちとの「相乗り」かな、と考えていましたがラッキーなことに貸切でした。乗船直後から現地のアメリカ人クルーの人たちともすぐに打ち解け終始和気あいあいの雰囲気で家族全員とても楽しめました!ただ飛空準備体勢から姪っ子たちが「あっ」という間に空高く舞い上がって行く瞬間はちょっとドキドキしました。わずか30分あまりの体験でしたが姪たちも私たちも忘れられない思い出を作ることが出来ました!
The sea turtle watching was a lot of fun, with the staff providing great support! I was lucky to see a manta ray, which only appears occasionally! They also informed us about what we could and couldn't do at the sandbar, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any danger. There were light snacks and drinks provided, making it a fulfilling tour for the price.
ウミガメウォッチングではスタッフさんがしっかりフォローしてくださりとても楽しい時間でした!
たまにしか現れないマンタにも会えてラッキーでした!
サンドバーでもやっていいことダメなことを教えて下さり、危険もなく楽しみました。
軽食やドリンクも用意されてて価格の割には充実したツアーでした。
The day began with an exciting morning call, and while rubbing my sleepy eyes, I listened to the safety instructions and equipment explanations in the stylish bus, which really got my spirits up. Above all, the high energy of the staff was infectious. With their thoughtful attention to detail and unique personalities, the atmosphere on the boat felt like a party, and it was so much fun.
At the dolphin point, I was thrilled to see dolphins swimming slowly right beneath me. At another spot, the water was so clear it felt like I was not even underwater, and I had wonderful memories swimming with sea turtles and tropical fish, losing track of time. I also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and hula lessons, and I definitely want to participate again next time.
It's a tour that interacts with nature, but there’s so much more to enjoy beyond just the dolphins, so I highly recommend it.
*To those participating: Depending on the season, I recommend renting a wetsuit. My wife loved the logo and ended up buying it.*

Thank you for your wonderful comment. The west side of Oahu offers truly beautiful ocean experiences. Of course, the dolphin experience is also fantastic, but we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sea. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。オアフ島ウエストサイドは、本当に美しい海の体験ができます。もちろん、イルカの体験も素晴らしいですが、キレイな海を満喫していただけたようで、私たちスタッフも嬉しい限りです。また是非お会いできる日を楽しみにしています。
The parasailing was the highlight of our visit to Honolulu! Check in was easy and the crew was fantastic. They made the activity that much more special and fun. Would highly recommend!
The whole tour from start to finish was breath taking! Truely an experience of a lifetime. To be able to go under the waters depths and see the hawaiian pyramids and see the marine life in their natural habitat . Loved it
I had an incredibly fun time. However, it might be a bit scary because it's quite expensive. Since you go out to sea by boat, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness. In the end, you definitely have to get your feet wet, so I think it's essential to participate in swimwear.
めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。あとは、高すぎて少し恐怖を感じることもあるかもしれません。船で沖まで出るので船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。最後は必ず足だけ水中に浸かりますので、水着での参加必須だと思いました。
We participated as a couple in our 50s. Everyone else was either a young couple or a young group, and I was a bit anxious since I'm not great with heights, but I had a lot of fun. We flew for quite a long time, took many photos, and enjoyed taking pictures and videos with each other's smartphones, spending a great time together. I highly recommend it.
私たちは50代の夫婦で参加しました。
一緒になった人は皆若いカップルだったり若いグループで、私は少し高い所が苦手なのでちょっと不安でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
結構長い時間飛んでいて、写真も沢山撮っていただいたし、一緒になった人たちとは順番にお互いのスマホで写真や動画を取り合い楽しい時間を過ごせました。
おすすめです。
Well organised and friendly tour - plenty of time at both the sandbar and the snorkel location. Lunch was great, snorkel equipment provided, highly recommend doing this activity.
From the hostess at the Blue Tent to the boat crew - everyone made the experience enjoyable. Plenty of fish and turtles. Quality snorkeling gear. And finished with a nice relaxing sail around Diamond Head. A definite do again on our next trip. Since we stayed at the Hall Koa, access was a quick walk down the beach. No hassles of finding parking on the busy Waikiki strip.
There were few fish. More than half of the scenery was empty. I felt seasick. Since they don't shine white light on the fish, it was almost a black-and-white world. It was a wedding, so despite having paid a lot of money, my mother whispered, "This is one of the three major disappointments in Hawaii."
魚が少ない。何も無い景色が半分以上。船酔い。魚に白色光を当てないので、ほぼ白黒の世界。結婚式だったので、折角高いお金を払ったのに、母親が「これはハワイ三大ガッカリの1つ」と呟いていました。
