Oahu
We had a two-hour horseback riding course starting at 8 AM, and the ranch was still quiet with just six of us setting off. The horses were all calm, occasionally munching on grass, but we felt safe riding up hills and crossing rivers. The mountains were shrouded in mist, and we spent a precious two hours slowly taking in the magnificent scenery, feeling as if we had stepped into a Jurassic Park movie. I was extremely satisfied!
朝8時から2時間の乗馬コース、牧場内はまだ静かで6人での出発でした。馬達はみんな静かで時々草を食べてしまう事もありましたが、坂道も川も安心して乗っていられました。
山には靄がかかり雄大な景色をゆっくり眺めながらジェラシックパークの映画の中に入り込んだような貴重な2時間を過ごしました。
大満足でした!
The clear blue pacific didn't disappoint. An abundance of fish and of course the stunning turtles. Capt. Rich, Michelle and Austin got us to were we needed to be safely and with a lot of fun. Genuinely nice people as well. Made us feel special on our 20th wedding anniversary. Would go on an adventure with them without hesitation. Highly recommend.
I participated in the Angel's Sea Tour on March 15, 2018. It was a cloudy and chilly day, but as we approached the sandbar, the blue sky opened up, and the contrast between the blue of the sky and the white of the sandbar was amazing.
When I got into the sea from the boat, I was surprised by the sudden depth, as the water was up to my shoulders, but it quickly became shallower, allowing me to take photos comfortably. After enjoying some beach volleyball and other activities in the water, we were treated to freshly made BBQ, which was exquisite.
I also saw plenty of sea turtles and made a wish (laughs). Finally, we moved to a spot with coral reefs for snorkeling, where I was able to enjoy the colorful fish. The tour had a good mix of foreigners and Japanese participants, and the explanations provided in a separate area for the Japanese made it easy to enjoy without any worries.
The sandbar is an experience you can only have here, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't seen it yet.
2018年3月15日に天使の海ツアーに参加しました。
雲の多い肌寒い日でしたが、サンドバーに近づくにつれ青空が広がり、空の青さとサンドバーの白さとのコントラストは最高でした。
船から海に入る時はいきなり肩まで海水につかる深さだったので、ちょっとびっくりしましたが、すぐに浅く腰までになりゆっくり写真をとることができました。
海でバレーボール等ををしてゆっくり楽しんだあとは、出来立てのBBQが待っていました。絶品でしたよ。
ウミガメもたくさん見られて、しっかり願い事もしました(笑)
最後はサンゴ礁のある場所に移動してシュノーケリングでしたが、カラフルな魚がいっぱいいて堪能することが出来ました。
外国人と日本人が半分半分くらいのツアーでしたが、日本人向けに別の場所でしっかり説明してもらい安心して楽しめました。
サンドバーはここでしか体験できないので、まだ見ていない人は是非お勧めします。
Compared to some ranches, there are hardly any Japanese people, and if you're okay with only English, I highly recommend it! The location is North Shore, just a few minutes by car from Giovanni's. After the activities, you can enjoy sightseeing in Haleiwa and also try garlic shrimp, so definitely go for it!
某牧場と比べて、日本人はほぼいないし、英語のみでも大丈夫なら非常にオススメです!場所はノースショア、ジョバンニから車で数分です。アクティビティ後にハレイワ観光、ガーリックシュリンプも楽しめるので是非!
It was very exciting. The view from Ala Moana Beach to Diamond Head was wonderful. When I signed up, it mentioned that only English instructors would be available, but they spoke a little Japanese.
非常にエキサイティングでした。アラモアナビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドまで一望できて景色も素晴らしかった。
申し込むときに英語のインストラクターのみと書いてありましたが、片言ですが日本語でしゃべってくれます。
At first it was terrifying because youre so high up but after the first 2 obstacles it was fun. Loved the swing!! The rock climning was hard for me because my arms were tired by then but overall i had fun. The instructor was very helpful and patient.
I was worried about the weather not being very good, but I signed up three days ago and participated. After it ended, we dispersed at the location, but since it was close to the Hilton, I was able to walk back to Waikiki and have lunch.
お天気があまり良くなく大丈夫かどうか心配でしたが、3日前に申し込みしての参加でした。終了後は現地解散でしたが場所がヒルトンの近くだったのでワイキキまで歩いて戻りランチできました。
This was my second time participating, and I enjoyed it again.
Although the weather was bad, the movie location tour was enjoyable.
The beach is recommended when the weather is nice.
2度目の参加で、今回も楽しめました。
天気が悪かったですが、映画ロケ地めぐりは楽しめます。
ビーチは天気が良い時がおススメです。
This is wonderful! Even though it started raining halfway through the ride, we continued and it was just amazing! I hadn’t ridden since I was a child, so I was very happy with the gentle horse they gave me.
The boat crew and divers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We definitely want to do again and bring our whole family. Experiencing close encounters with sea turtles, sea stars, and numerous species of fish was thrilling. The crew has 7 scuba scooters with a diver to assist each scooter. The divers make sure each participant is safe, feels comfortable, and points out the aquatic life while also allowing independent discovery. While waiting your turn to scooter, we had a wonderful time snorkeling on our own. The waters are clear and beautiful and allow perfect visibility. For an extra fee you can get pictures and a video of your adventure. The diver captured some of my favorite vacation pictures!
It was my first time paragliding, and I had a lot of fun. There was also a pick-up service to the hotel, and the local staff were very entertaining and made the experience enjoyable. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice!
初めてのパラセイリングでしたが、
とても楽しかったです。
ホテルまで送迎もあり、現地の担当の方もすごく楽しませて頂き、面白かったです。
天気が良ければもっとよかったです!
I participated in a zip line experience. We were driven from the ranch to the starting point, and along the way, there were movie filming locations. Fast-paced English was flying around, and while I didn't understand everything, I picked up some words and started to get a sense of the meaning.
It was a chilly day with clouds and occasional rain, but racing down over the pastured cows was refreshing, even without a clear blue sky. The guides were all fun, and I had a great time.
We were in the group that started at 11:30, but the bus pickup time was at 7:00. There were three return buses included in the package, but only one bus going there. We spent over three hours at the ranch before the start time, which felt a bit long. We relaxed and chatted, but I felt it would be better if there were at least two buses going there.
The zip line itself was fantastic, but I felt there were areas for improvement in the tour schedule, so I rated the overall experience a 4.
ジップラインに参加してきました。
牧場から車で開始地点まで送ってもらい その間に映画のロケ地があります。
容赦ない高速英語が飛び交います。わからないなりにわかる単語を拾いながら聞いていると なんとなく意味が分かるような気もしてきます。
曇り時々雨の肌寒い天気でしたが 放牧牛がいる上を駆け下りていくのは
青空は見えずとも 気分爽快でした。
ガイドのお姉さんたちが楽しい方ばかりで 楽しい時間を過ごせました。
私たちは11:30開始のグループでしたが バスのお迎え時間は7:00。
送迎付きのコースは帰りのバスは3本ありましたが 行きのバスは1本。
開始時間まで牧場で過ごすのですが3時間以上ブラブラしてるのは
ちょっと長いかなと思いました。
おしゃべりしながらのんびり過ごしましたが 行きのバスもせめて2本あるとよいと感じました。
ジップライン自体は最高でしたが ツアー行程に改善点アリと感じましたので
全体評価は4にしました。
My first surfing experience became a wonderful memory. Before I started, I was worried about whether I could ride the waves, but the instructor taught me patiently, and I was able to enjoy surfing with my friends. Some of the instructors spoke Japanese, so even if you're not very good at English, I think you'll have a great time. I was able to have photos taken while I was surfing, and I received them for free afterward. It was a bit disappointing that it was cold. Next time, I want to be able to ride bigger waves.
初めてのサーフィンは、良い思い出となりました。始める前は波に乗れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただき、友人と楽しくサーフィンをすることができました。インストラクターの方の中には、日本語を話すことのできる方もおられ、英語があまり得意でなくとも、楽しめると思います。サーフィンを体験しているときの写真を撮ってもらうことができ、終わった後に無料でいただくことができました。寒かった点が少し残念でした。次回はもう少し大きな波に乗れるようになりたいです。
I participated in a 120M parasailing with my daughter early in the morning. Under the guidance of two cheerful instructors, we headed out to the vast ocean.
Parasailing while gazing at Diamond Head was amazing. The 8 minutes felt incredibly long. I was a bit concerned about seasickness, but it wasn't a problem at all. It might have been due to the waves that day.
Thank you for the wonderful time!
早朝120Mのパラセイリングに娘と参加。
陽気なインストラクター二人のガイドの元、大海原へ。。
ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めつつのパラセイリングは最高でした。
8分間がものすごく長く感じました。
船酔いが気になりましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。
その日の波の揺れによるかもしれません。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました!
The staff member was handsome and very accommodating. It was reassuring that he could speak a little Japanese. I would like to go again.
お兄さんがイケメンで対応が良かったです。
日本語も少し話せるようでしたので安心でした。また行きたいです。
The pickup bus was late, which made me a bit anxious, but the staff were very friendly and it turned out to be a fun time! While waiting to board the boat, they entertained us by letting us feed the fish! Parasailing was absolutely amazing! It was such a luxurious experience to look out over Waikiki from the sky in the morning! During the parasailing, the ascent was slow and there were no sudden jolts, so I felt stable and was able to fully enjoy the scenery without any fear!
迎えのバスがピックアップより遅くてヒヤヒヤしましたが、送迎の方が外国の方でしたがとっても感じよく楽しい時間でした!ボートに乗るまでの時間も魚にエサをあげたりと楽しませてくれました!パラセイリングはもう最高です!朝から海の空でワイキキを眺められるなんて贅沢な時間でした!パラセイリング中、上がるのもゆっくりで急な揺れなどもなく安定飛行で恐怖心もなく景色をしっかり楽しめました!
Everyone was very friendly out on the boats and helped us with whatever we needed!
Mahalo for your kind words - come see us again soon!
I participated with my mother, and it was incredibly fun. The pickup location was very crowded with various departing guests, and after waiting for 20 minutes thinking the driver would arrive soon, I ended up calling and finally met the driver. It was my mistake not to notice that they were calling for me; I should have called after 10 minutes as it suggested. I ended up inconveniencing the other guests who were waiting on the bus. The driver seemed to be searching hard for me, and when we met, he greeted me with a smile, which made me very happy. Even if you're away from the pickup spot, you should immediately check if a flashy van stops, as "ZIP-LINE" is written in large letters on the vehicle. On the way, I enjoyed the coastal scenery, delicious bananas, tomatoes, and macadamia nuts that I cracked open myself. The zip line experience included climbing and descending on a rope bridge, going in various directions, and I absolutely recommend it!
母と親子参加、最高に楽しかったです。
ピックアップの場所が様々出発される方で大混雑、もうすぐ来るかと20分経ち結局電話をかけやっとドライバーさんに会えました。
呼んでくれていたのに気づかなかった私のミス、10分経っても来なかったら電話と書いてあるのでそうすべきでした。
バスで待たされた他の方に迷惑をかけてしまいました。
ドライバーさんは一生懸命探してくれていたようで、会った時は笑顔で迎えてくれとても嬉しかったです。
ピックアップ場所から離れていても派手なバンが止まったら即確認すべきです、車体には大きくZIP-LINEと書いてあります。
到着までも海沿いの景色を楽しみ、美味しいバナナ、トマト、自分で割って食べるマカダミアナッツ、つり橋にロープでの昇り降り、長短、後ろ向き、逆さでのジップライン体験、絶対におすすめ!!
The arrangements were smooth. The pickup and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.
手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。
The hospitality of the staff was excellent, and I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. Their wonderful support eased the tension of the participants, and smiles were everywhere. I attended with a small child, and I am very grateful for the kind assistance from the staff. The atmosphere was great, and I was able to spend a lovely time. Thank you very much.
However, the weather was beyond our control and it was very cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket and pants. Since there are two opportunities to enter the sea, having extra towels would also be comfortable. I was worried about the cold air conditioning on the return bus, but it was turned off, which was a great help.
Lunch was very delicious.
Despite having a child with me, it was very comfortable, and I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you very much.
スタッフの方々のおもてなしがとても上手で、安心してツアーに参加できました。素晴らしい対応ばかりでツアーの参加者の緊張がどんもんほぐされ、笑顔が溢れてました。小さな子供を連れて参加しましたが、スタッフの方に優しく対応して頂き、大変感謝しております。とても雰囲気がよく、素敵な時間を過ごす事ができました。ありがとうございました。
ただ天候はどうにもならず、とても寒かったので上着やズボンを持っていくことをお勧めします。海に入る機会が2回ある為、タオルも多めにあると快適です。帰りのバスのエアコンの寒さが心配でしたが、エアコンは切ってあり、大変助かりました。
お昼ごはん、とっても美味しかったです。
子連れにもかかわらず、大変居心地がよく、また是非参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。
I participated with a guaranteed front-row seat. The seat was great, and since we were given priority for the buffet, I think choosing this seat was a good decision.
At the entrance of the venue, they take photos of each guest group, so there is a long line before you can take your seat.
The schedule mentions a "welcome ceremony" starting at 17:30, but it felt more like a pre-show. From 17:45, there was a "conch shell blowing challenge," but only three people selected from the audience participated. The "hula lesson" took place towards the end of the show, where about five people were chosen from the audience to dance on stage together.
If you dislike waiting for nearly an hour, it might be better to arrive around the meal start time of 18:00.
The show features dances from various Polynesian islands, and it's enjoyable. I understood only about half of the host's explanations, but having some English skills would enhance the experience.
ゴールデンシート<前方席確約>で参加しました。席も良かったですし,ブッフェに優先的に案内されるので,この席にして良かったと思います。
会場の入口でゲストを1組ずつ写真撮影するので,着席するまでに長い行列ができます。
スケジュールには17:30から「歓迎セレモニー」とありますが「前説」みたいなものでした。17:45から「ほら貝ふきチャレンジ」とありますが,チャレンジするのは会場から選ばれた3人だけでした。「フラレッスン」は,ショーの最後の方で,5人くらいが会場から選ばれてステージ上で一緒に踊っていました。
1時間近く待つのが嫌なら,18:00の食事開始時刻めがけて行った方が良いように思いました。
ショーは,ポリネシア各地の踊りが見られて,楽しめます。進行役の説明は半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが,英語力があればより楽しめるでしょう。
The video description in Japanese mentions that helmets are provided for free, and water bottles can be placed in the saddlebag. Throughout the ride, a local horse staff member accompanied us, opening gates along the way, but there was no guidance about filming or any other information provided. The horse guidance was limited to simple Japanese commands like "right" and "left." The handling of the horses was professional, so I felt safe; the horse I rode followed the one in front, so as long as we avoided distractions, everything was fine. It's suitable for beginners as well.
It's recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants. If your pants ride up while mounting, high socks are advisable. Soft, loose-fitting fabric for pants is also recommended. I enjoyed the views of the mountains, grasslands, and ocean in Hawaii.
日本語のビデオ説明、ヘルメット着用(無料貸出)、サドルバックにペットボトルの水などがいれられました。
出発から終わりまで、現地の馬のスタッフがひとりついてくれて途中のゲートを開けたりしてくれましたが、ここでこんな撮影がありました、などのガイドは一切無しでした。
馬の誘導も片言の日本語で右ー、左ー、という位でした。馬の扱いはプロだったので安心、乗る馬は前の馬に着いていくので、道草だけさせなければ大丈夫です。初心者でもオッケー。
長袖長ズボン。またがってズボンの裾が上がる場合はハイソックスがおすすめです。
ズボンは柔らかい生地、ゆったりめかおすすめです。
ハワイの山と草原、海を見れて楽しめました
I'm really glad I participated in the tour. After departing and finishing the eco-mai, dolphins appeared, and I was able to see them. Before that, I also encountered sea turtles! Once again, dolphins showed up, and I was able to swim with them, fulfilling my dream of swimming with dolphins in the waters of Hawaii! During snorkeling, I also encountered sea turtles and sharks, and within that short time, I was able to meet many sea creatures! I enjoyed marine sports like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, which are not easily available in Japan, making it a fulfilling trip. I'm truly grateful to everyone at Dolphin University. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
出発してエホマイ終了後にイルカが現れて、見ることができました。
その前にもウミガメに出会うこともできました!
再び、イルカが現れて一緒に泳ぐことができ、ハワイの海でイルカと泳ぎたいという夢が叶いました!
シュノーケリング最中も、ウミガメやサメにも遭遇し、その短時間の間で海の生き物にたくさん出会えることができました!
日本ではなかなかできないサップやカヤックなどマリンスポーツも楽しめ、充実した旅行になりました。イルカ大学のみなさんには本当に感謝してます。ステキな思い出をありがとうございます!
Aloha Sayaka,
Congratulations on your graduation from the prestigious Dolphin University.
We are very happy to have been able to help you achieve your dreams. Please feel free to visit us anytime!!

またいつでも遊びに来てくださいね!!
Mahalo〜

I had a great time! I'm glad I did it! All the participants at the same time were foreigners, but everyone was friendly and it was fun. It wasn't a problem at all that I couldn't speak English. The staff on the boat were handsome! It was a mistake that I didn't pay much attention to the tips and photos and left my wallet at the hotel.
とても楽しかったです!やって良かった!同じ時間の参加者は全員外人さんでしたが、みんなフレンドリーで楽しかった。英語話せなくても、何の問題もなかったです。船のスタッフさんがイケメンでした!チップや写真のことをよく見ておらず、ホテルに財布を置いてきてしまったのが失敗でした。
I participated with another person in a 90-meter experience, but the staff was not at all kind to Japanese speakers and only spoke English. When we got on the boat, despite the strong waves, they sped off, and I ended up getting seasick and couldn't experience parasailing. There were about three groups, so waiting on the boat the whole time was really tough. The instructor didn't seem to care and was singing along to the music, which was frustrating.
In the end, we were the only ones who didn't receive the initial explanation, so my husband had to experience it alone, and they didn't even take any photos for us. They just said "sorry!" casually. It was truly the worst day.
90メートルのに2人で参加しましたが、日本人に全然優しくなくひたすら英語でした。船に乗ると波が強いのにも関わらず飛ばすので、船酔いをしてしまいパラセーリング体験できませんでした。3組ほどいたので、それまでずっと船の上で待っているのがとてもきつかったです。インストラクターの人も心配する事なく、流れている音楽に合わせて歌っていて腹が立ちました。
しまいには、私達だけ最初の説明をされていなかったので主人は1人で体験したのに、写真も撮っててもらえなかったです。sorry!と簡単に済まされました。ほんとに最悪な日
でした。
We had a group lesson, and there were two instructors for our group of four friends! They taught us very carefully, and by the second wave, everyone was able to ride. It was a very fun and wonderful tour, so I think even beginners can really enjoy it. Above all, the instructors were very friendly and fun. We also received over 100 photos for free, which was great to keep as memories of Hawaii.
グループレッスンを行いましたが、友達4人に対して2人のインストラクターが付いてくれました!
とても丁寧に教えていただき、2回目の波から全員がのることができました。
とても楽しく素晴らしいツアーなので、初心者の方でもとても楽しめると思います。何より、インストラクターの方がとてもフレンドリーで楽しいです。写真のデータも100枚以上無料でもらえて、ハワイの思い出としても残せてよかったです。
I thought the 2-hour course might be a bit long, but in the end, I was glad it was 2 hours. The reservation was well organized in advance, and although there were no staff who spoke Japanese, the process was completed without any stress. Since it had just rained, my shoes got a little muddy before riding, but it wasn't a big deal, and there was no splashing of mud during the ride, so my clothes stayed clean. I was impressed by how the horse followed the instructions I was given in advance (to walk, turn, and stop), and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature during those 2 hours. My butt got a bit sore, but it was nothing I couldn't quickly forget. There were lockers available for use, and the restaurant had high-quality food, which made me very satisfied. It was a facility where even older couples could enjoy themselves comfortably.
少し長いかなと思いつつ2時間コースを申し込みましたが結果的に2時間で良かったと思います。事前予約でしっかり手配されており日本語のできるスタッフはいませんでしたがストレスなく手続き完了。雨上がりだったので馬に乗るまで靴は少し泥で汚れますがたいしたことなく乗馬中は全く泥跳ねもなく服はきれいでした。事前に馬の操り方(歩く、曲がる、止まる)を教えてもらい馬が忠実に従ってくれるのに感動し、自然の雄大さに圧倒される2時間でした。ややお尻が痛くなりましたがすぐに忘れる程度、安心して使えるロッカーもありレストランもクオリティーが高く満足、初老の夫婦でも安心して楽しめる施設でした。
We used it as a couple. We were able to see the fireworks beautifully, and it created great memories. I would like to use it again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
夫婦で利用しました。花火も綺麗に見る事ができ、良い思い出が出来ました。ハワイに行った時はまた利用したいです。ありがとうございました。
I went with a female friend. However, there were only couples and newlyweds around us. (laughs) The scenery was beyond my imagination, it felt like being in a dream. The guide was also entertaining, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were exquisite.
女友達と2人で行きました。
が、周りにはカップルや新婚さんばかりでした。笑
景色は想像以上で夢の中にいるようでした。
ガイドさんも面白く、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも絶品でした。
We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12). The female guide was precise in her instructions, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a great recommendation for those who want to enjoy horseback riding. However, it was somewhat crowded due to participants from various routes, which made the guidance after arriving at the ranch a bit unclear. Additionally, there is quite a bit of free time before and after the horseback riding, but there isn't much to do or see, which can leave you feeling a bit idle.
2時間の乗馬ツアーに家族4人(大人2名、子供2名:10歳、12歳)で参加しました。ガイドの女性のリードも的確で、景色も絶景が楽しめて、乗馬を満喫したい人にはおすすめです。
ただし、様々なルートからのツアー参加者で多少混雑するためなのか、牧場到着後の案内がわかりづらかったです。また、乗馬を始める前と終わった後にフリータイムが結構あるのですが、あまりやることがなく、見るものも乏しいので手持無沙汰になります。
