Oahu
It was harder than I expected.
Before reaching the starting point, there was a place where I had to climb about 5 meters using a rope with just my arm strength, and that was quite tough. Once you get used to the zip line, there's not much effort required, so while sliding, you just need to lift your legs, making it not too strenuous. Since most participants were from the United States, the explanations in English were native-level, and I sometimes missed important points, realizing later what they meant through my own experience. In that sense, it was quite challenging.
It was my first experience with the zip line, and I enjoyed it very much! It was truly thrilling! My knees were shaking on the first one. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
I should mention that it uses more physical strength than you might imagine, and the English can be difficult. Also, while you can bring cameras or phones at your own risk, they can fall out of your pockets, and you won't be able to retrieve them easily, so it's better to attach a strap to secure them.
予想以上にハードでした。
スタート地点に到達するまでに1回、5mくらいの櫓までロープ1本を使って腕の力で登る場所があり、これはかなりきつかったです。ジップラインは慣れてしまえば、力を入れるところはないので、滑っている間足を上げているくらいでそれほどつらくはありません。参加者はほぼ米国出身の方が多い会だったためか、説明の英語がネイティブで重要な説明点なども聞き逃すこともあり、自分で体験してなるほどこういうことを言ってたのか、と思ったりすることがありました。そういう意味でも結構ハードでした。
ジップラインは初めての経験だったのでとても楽しめました!まさにスリル!最初の1本は膝が震えました。皆さんにお進めしたいです。
想像以上に体力を使う点と英語が難しいことはお知らせしておきます。あとカメラや携帯の持参は自己責任で持ち込み可能ですが、ポケットから落ちることがあり、さらには拾いにいけるような場所には落ちませんので、紐をつけて自分に固定できるようにして持って行った方が良いですよ。
I previously boarded the smaller one, but this time it's the larger one. The cabin is spacious, so I was able to see both sides. I think if there were a system like scattering food from a submarine, we could see many more fish.
以前小さいほうに搭乗しましたが、今回は大きいほう。艦内が広いので両側を見ることができました。潜水艦から餌を撒くような仕組みがあればもっと沢山の魚が見れると思う。
I participated with my university student son and high school daughter. I'm afraid of heights, but after reading the reviews, I thought I could join this. The crew members were very cheerful and entertained us with their broken Japanese. We signed up for the 150m, and it was higher than I expected! Scary!! But more than that, it felt amazing, and the view was the best!!! It became a great memory (^ ^)
大学生の息子と、高校生の娘の3人で参加しました。高所恐怖症の私ですが、口コミを見てこれなら参加できるかと。クルーの方々もとても陽気で、片言の日本語でとても楽しませてくれました。150mを申し込みましたが、予想以上高い!怖い!!けど、それ以上に気持ちよく、最高の景色!!!いい思い出になりました(^ ^)
We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated as a couple. Although it was an early morning discount plan, I thought it was sufficient. I didn't expect much in terms of Japanese language support, but I had no particular concerns about the flow leading up to the parasailing.
The day's itinerary was as follows:
- Pick up from the hotel
- Arrival at the port, then we moved out to sea by boat (there were three Japanese couples including us, two crew members, and lively music playing)
- Preparation on the boat (just follow the instructions given)
- When it was our turn, we went parasailing (we could do it together as a couple)
- After that, we just enjoyed the experience. The distant scenery was beautiful. We had a panoramic view of Honolulu. Looking down surprised us at our height. Eventually, we were brought back down and dipped a little into the sea.
- After everyone finished, we returned to the port. Before getting on the shuttle, we could purchase photo data at the reception (there's no need to buy it unless you check the data first. Payment can be made in cash or by card, but JCB cards are not accepted, so we had to come back).
- Then we were taken back to the hotel.
It was a thrilling experience like riding a roller coaster, and I think it's worth trying at least once. The wind was strong on the water, and there were waves, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to take some anti-nausea medication.
新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、夫婦で参加しました。
早朝割引プランでしたが十分だったと思います。日本語はあまり期待できませんが、バラセイリングをするまでの流れに特に不安な点はありませんでした。
一日の流れは、ホテルにお迎え
⇒港着、船で沖へ移動(私たち含め日本人3組、乗組員2人、ノリノリの音楽をかけていました)
⇒船の上で準備(言われたとおりにするだけです)
⇒順番が来たらパラセイリング(夫婦二人でできました)
⇒あとは成すがままです。遠くの景色はきれい。ホノルルを一望。真下を見ると自分たちの高さにびっくりします。そのうち、下に戻されて、ちょびっとだけ海に落としてくれます。
⇒ほかの皆さんが終わり次第、帰港。⇒送迎車に乗る前に、受付で写真データが購入できます。(データ確認後のため、無理に購入する必要はありません。現金またはカード、ただしカードはJCB不可で、出直しました)
⇒ホテルまで送迎、でした。
絶叫マシーンに乗るような、初めての体験でドキドキしましたが、一度はやってみる価値あると思います。
海上は風が強く、波もあったため、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んだほうが良いです。
We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated as a couple. It was our first time surfing, but both my wife and I were able to ride the waves from the very first try. We were able to challenge ourselves multiple times, and although we were very tired, it became an amazing memory. Since it was a semi-private lesson, we felt safe during the experience, and we received original T-shirts on our way back.
The day's flow was as follows: pick-up from the hotel (the driving was a bit rough) ⇒ arrival at the office and changing (they lend out rash guards and reef shoes for free. We brought our own but borrowed both.) ⇒ explanation of the basic surfing movements. It was simple and easy to understand. ⇒ moved to the beach with the surfboards. At this time, we greeted the instructor. ⇒ reconfirmed the basic movements on the beach, and then we started surfing! ⇒ We kept challenging ourselves by following the instructor's directions. (At first, I struggled to sit after riding the wave and eventually fell into the water. If you don't fall correctly, you can get hurt by the coral. When I got tired from paddling, the instructor helped me.) ⇒ Returned to the office, changed, and received photo data. (All the photos from that day were compiled together.) ⇒ Finally, we were taken back to the hotel.
The instructor's Japanese was a bit broken, but it was sufficient. The moment I rode the wave was moving! I want to do it again! I think this experience is more for those who want to try surfing with the help of an instructor rather than focusing on improving surfing skills. We were very satisfied!
新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、夫婦で参加しました。
初めてのサーフィンでしたが、私も妻も一回目から波に乗ることができたし、そのあとも何度もチャレンジできて、とっても疲れたけど最高の思い出となりました。セミプライベートレッスンだったので、安心して体験できたし、帰りにオリジナルTシャツをいただきました。
一日の流れは、ホテルにお迎え(運転はちょいと荒め)
⇒事務所に到着・着替え(ラッシュガード、リーフシューズを無料で貸し出してくれます。自前でもってきましたがどちらも借りました。)
⇒サーフィンの基本動作の説明。シンプルでわかりやすい。
⇒サーフボードを持ってビーチに移動。このとき先生とご挨拶。
⇒ビーチで基本動作を再確認。その後、サーフィン開始!
⇒とにかく先生の指示に従って挑戦し続けます。(最初は波乗り後座るのがうまくできず、最終的には落水。うまく落ちないと、サンゴで痛い思いをします。パドリングで疲れたら、先生が助けてくれました。)
⇒事務所に戻り、着替え。写真データをもらいました。(その日全員分の写真がひとまとめになっています。)⇒ホテルまで送迎、でした。
先生の日本語はカタコトですが十分です。波に乗れた瞬間は感動!またやりたい!
サーフィンそのものの技術向上というよりも、先生の力を借りてサーフィン体験したい人向けだと思います。私たちは満足でした!
I found a shop that everyone in the family could enjoy. There weren't any Japanese staff, but that was okay. The cheerful staff provided a great sense of reassurance. I was quite nervous as a mother, wondering if my 6-year-old son would really be able to do it. My youngest son, however, went up high without any hesitation, smiling all the way with his father! And he came back down smiling too. I was just so grateful and impressed by my son's courage and the safe, reassuring staff. By the way, I also gave it a try, but I was screaming and ended up being laughed at by my daughter.
家族全員が出来るところを探して、見つけたショップ。
日本人スタッフさんはませんでしたが、大丈夫。安心感たっぷりの愉快なスタッフさん。
6才の息子が本当にいけるのかと母親の私はビクビクしていました。
最年少の息子は父親と一緒になんの迷いもなくニコニコしながら、あっという間に空高く!そして、ニコニコして戻ってきた。
ただただ、息子の度胸と安心安全なスタッフさんに感謝感激しました。
ちなみに、私もやりましたが、ギャーギャー言っていて、娘に笑われながらやり終えました。
The shuttle to Diamond Head is perfectly priced and provides a great morning excursion. Diamond Head is a must see when visiting Oahu, so this inexpensive excursion fit the bill.
We participated as a newlywed couple who are not afraid of heights, but 150 meters was scary! The actual time spent up there was about five minutes, but it felt like enough for us. However, it became a great memory, and on the way back, we happily talked about how scary it was multiple times.
There were five groups on the boat, and everyone except one group chose the 150-meter option. For the optional photo shoot, you need to mention it before flying, so I think it's a good idea to request it just in case. After getting off the boat, we were shown a few photos at the reception and asked if we wanted to buy them. It felt okay to decline at that moment. Everyone who had their photos taken ended up buying them, while the couple who forgot to have theirs taken looked disappointed.
The photo data was on an SD card. Not only was parasailing fun, but the boat ride itself was also very enjoyable. The parasailing takes place quite far from the shore. On the way back, the boat sped up and made turns, which felt really nice. Additionally, when we were getting off, I noticed that others were preparing a $10 tip, so I gave one as well.
高所恐怖症ではない新婚夫婦で参加しましたが、150mは怖かったです!実際に上がっている時間は5分ほどでしたが、もうお腹いっぱいなかんじでした。でも、それが良い思い出で、帰り道何度も「怖かったねー」と楽しく話しました。
5組で船に乗り、1組以外は全員150mを選んでいました。
オプションの写真撮影は、飛ぶ前に言わないと撮ってもらえないので、とりあえず頼んでみるといいと思います。船から降りたあと、受付で写真を数枚見せてもらい、買うか聞かれます。その時に断ってもいい雰囲気でした。撮ってもらった人は皆買っており、撮ってもらうのを忘れたご夫婦は残念そうにしていました。
写真のデータはSDカードでした。
パラセーリング だけでなく、船に乗ること自体とても楽しかったです。パラセーリングは陸から結構離れたところで行います。帰りは船を猛スピードで飛ばし、途中カーブさせたりしてくれて、とても気持ちよかったです。
あと、降りる時に他の方々がチップ10ドルを用意していたので、私も渡しました。
About seven years ago, I participated in Dolphin University and liked it so much that I wanted to join again for this honeymoon, so I signed up. As expected... Dolphin University is the best!! As soon as we boarded, we were told, "There are dolphins!" We hurriedly prepared, and within 10 minutes of boarding, we met the dolphins!! That day, we got to try it twice, and my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, was super excited! Because we met the dolphins so quickly, we had plenty of time for snorkeling, and we were able to swim with a mother and baby sea turtle, which we couldn't see last time. We also got to experience surfing on a board together and played on the slide from the boat... it was a very satisfying half-day tour!! Additionally, there were snacks and juice on the boat, and on the way back, they provided cheeseburgers and juice♡ What I felt again this time, just like last time, is that not only can you swim with the dolphins, but the fun stories from all the staff and their enjoyment are what make the Dolphin University tour so great♡ I'm really glad I participated in Dolphin University!! Thank you so much!!
7年ほど前にイルカ大学に参加させてもらい大変気に入ったため、今回のハネムーンでも是非参加したいと思い申込みました。やはり…イルカ大学は最高です!!乗船した途端「イルカ先生がいますよ」との事。急いで準備し、乗船10分でイルカに会えました!!その日は合計2度トライさせて頂き、ハワイが初めての旦那様も大興奮でした!イルカに早く会えたことからシュノーケリングの時間もたっぷりあり、前回は会えなかったウミガメの親子とも泳ぐことができました。サーフボードも2人で経験させてもらい、船からの滑り台で遊んで…と大満足の半日ツアーでした!!また、船の上でスナック菓子とジュース、帰りのバスではチーズバーガーとジュースの用意がありました♡今回改めて感じたことは、前回と同様に、イルカと一緒に泳げるだけでなく、スタッフ皆さんの楽しいお話やとっても楽しんでいる姿がイルカ大学のツアーの良さなんだということです♡イルカ大学に参加して本当に良かったです!!本当にありがとうございました!!
I was unable to participate on the scheduled day due to a flight delay, which made me anxious, but I received a quick response to my inquiry email and was able to join on the final day! I received one-on-one instruction and was able to stand up even as a beginner, which was a lot of fun! I also purchased photos for $50. It's a wonderful keepsake!
飛行機遅延で予定してた日に参加できず、焦りましたが問い合わせメールに迅速に対応していただき、無事最終日に参加できました!
マンツーマンで教えて頂き初心者でも立てることができ、とても楽しかったです!
50ドルで写真も購入致しました。
とてもいい記念です!
Among the many dinner shows, I participated in this one, which is easily accessible from Waikiki! The course starts before sunset, and we begin with the meal. There aren't too many dishes, but it's not a problem. Alcohol is also available at the bar. The view during sunset is simply stunning. After the sun sets, the main show begins. The program is composed of captivating performances that are neither too short nor too long. The final fire dance is breathtaking! It was a program worth participating in.
数あるショーディナーの中から、ワイキキからアクセスも良いこちらのディナーに参加しました!
夕暮れ前からのコースで、最初に食事を頂きます。品数は多くはありませんが、困るほどでは無いです。
バーではアルコールも提供されています。
なんといっても夕暮れ時の景色が素晴らしい。
日が落ちてからショーの本番。
短すぎず長すぎず観るものを魅了するプログラムで構成されてます。
最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻の一言!参加する価値アリのプラグラムでした。
The instructor was a local and made a great effort to speak Japanese, which was very easy to understand. Last year's experience was so much fun, and I had the opportunity to surf again this year in Hawaii, which was just as enjoyable. The land training ended quickly, and the instructor helped me stop the board on the water, which was great for practicing standing up. I even saw a rainbow while riding the waves.
先生は、現地の方ですが頑張って日本語を話してくださりとてもわかりやすかったです。去年の体験がすごく楽しく、今年のハワイでもサーフィンの体験をさせていただきましたがとにかく楽しかったです。陸トレはすぐに終わり、水上で先生がボードをとめてくださり、立つ練習をしたのがとても良かったです。波に乗りながら虹も見えました。
I was able to see colorful fish, sea turtles, and sharks! I was moved to see the beautiful ocean. As I leaned forward and gazed out the window, I was occasionally surprised by small fish darting right in front of the window, which made for a fun experience.
カラフルな魚や、ウミガメ、サメを見ることができました!キレイな海を見ることができて感動でした。身を乗り出して窓の外を見つめていると、たまに小さな魚が窓のすぐ近く(目の前)をちょこちょこと横切って驚かされたり、楽しい体験でした。
【Positive Points】
Everyone in the crew was really nice!
They made an effort to entertain us.
Thank you!!
【Negative Points】
It was way too cold at the beginning of February.
While the cold isn't the crew's fault, it was freezing, and we were served ice-cold juice. Haha.
I wish I had received accurate advice on how to stay warm in advance.
【Did I get to see dolphins?】
This was a bit disappointing!
I couldn't get close enough to swim with them.
It was more like a distance suitable for a cruising tour.
But since they are wild animals and there are laws, it can't be helped. The crew did their best, so I'll definitely try again!
【For those who will participate in the future】
In winter,
you should definitely bring Uniqlo's Ultra Light Down and disposable raincoats if you have them! (A shammy is super useful if you have one.)
Basically, everything gets wet because you put it on over a wet wetsuit. I found the shammy I brought to be incredibly useful! Once the bath towel gets wet, it's useless, so I wiped off as much water as possible with the shammy, then put on the bath towel, wore the 100 yen raincoat to block the wind and moisture, and then put on the Ultra Light Down, which was just right.
Out of 40 people, only 4.5 managed to swim happily without getting seasick until the end.
The rest were all throwing up, and only 4.5 people participated in all three dives.
Those with weak vestibular systems who can't swim will definitely get seasick since they can only float.
I personally have a weak vestibular system, but since I was constantly swimming, I wasn't affected by the swaying, so I managed to get through it.
This is an activity for those who are confident in their physical strength!
【 良かった点】
クルーのみんながいい人ばっかりだった!
楽しませようと努力してくれた。
ありがとう!!
【イマイチだった点】
2月頭には 寒すぎる。
寒いのはクルーのせいではないが、
震えるほど寒いのに、キンキンに冷えたジュースが出てくる。笑
防寒に対しての的確なアドバイスが事前に欲しい。
【イルカに会えたか】
ここがちょっと残念!
一緒に泳ぐほど近くにいけなかった。
クルージングのツアーでも良いくらいの距離。
でも、自然の生き物だし 法律もあるからしょうがない。 クルーもみんな頑張ってくれたからまたリベンジするね!
【これから参加する方へ】
冬であれば
・ユニクロの ウルトラライトダウンと使い捨てのカッパ、あれば絶対持っていくべき! (セームがあれば超使える)
基本的に濡れたウエットスーツの上に羽織るので全て濡れます。 水泳で使うセームを持っていったらめちゃくちゃ重宝しました!! バスタオルは濡れたら終わりなのでセームで水気をできるだけ拭き取ってから バスタオルをはおり、100均のカッパをはおり風と水気を遮ってから その上にウルトラライトダウンを着たのでちょうど良かった。
40人中、酔わないで最後まで元気に泳げたのは4.5人。
あとはみんな 吐いてたし、3回のダイブを全部参加したのはたった4.5人でした。
三半規管が弱くて 水泳ができない人は 浮いているしかないので 確実に酔います。
私自身は 三半規管は弱いですが 常に泳いでいたので揺れに左右されなかったのでクリアできました。
体力に自信のある人向けのアクティビティです!
After reading the experiences, most of them mentioned that it wasn't scary, so I chose the 120-meter height. It was quite high, and as someone with a fear of heights, I kept looking far away. If you look far away, it's not scary, but occasionally, when a strong wind blows, the parachute moves differently than expected, which startled me.
The photos cost $30, but since you can't take good pictures with your smartphone, I recommend purchasing them. I split the cost with a friend. You can buy them with a card or cash.
体験談を読んだら、怖くないという体験談が大半だったので、高さ120mを選んだのですが、結構高さがあり、高所恐怖症の私はずっと遠くを見ていました。遠くを見ていれば怖くないのですが、時折強い風が吹くと、パラシュートが想定と違う動きをするので、ドキッとしました。
写真は30ドルしますが、スマホではちゃんと撮れないので、購入をお勧めします。私は友人と割勘しました。カードまたは現金で購入可能です。
We participated with a total of 10 people, from my 70-year-old grandfather to my 4-year-old grandchild. A lucky memory was seeing a sea turtle, while an unfortunate experience was the jungle tour in a downpour.
70歳の祖父からと4歳の孫まで合計10名で参加しました。運良くウミガメが見られたことと運悪くスコールの中でのジャングルツアーは良い思い出です。
Thank you very much! I had a great time! Although I can't speak English at all, there were no issues with the lesson.
ありがとうございました!とっても楽しかったです\(^-^)/英語は全く話せませんが、レッスンに問題なかったです。
You can easily ride it since it uses a large board. It might be a bit lacking for those who are not beginners. The waves are gentle and it's a place where you can touch the bottom, so you can practice with peace of mind. By the way, it was a one-on-one lesson.
特大ボードを使うので誰でも簡単に乗れます。
初心者以外には物足りないかも。
波も穏やかで足がつく場所なので、安心して練習できます。
因みにマンツーマン講義でした。
Overall, it was cloudy, but it was great that it was sunny during the dolphin watching by boat and at the water play area.
The weather had not been good for about a week, and there was a possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we were able to see a pod of about 20 dolphins and a sea turtle, which was amazing.
*Some people were feeling nauseous, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication with you or bring some along.
全体的に曇りでしたが、ボートで向かうイルカウォッチング、水上遊び場所では晴れていて良かったです。
1週間程天候が良くなく、イルカを見ることが出来ない可能性があるとのことでしたが、無事に20匹程の群れとウミガメを見ることが出来て最高でした。
※吐いてる方もいましたので、酔い止めは飲んでくるか、または持って行っても良いと思いました
Thank you for your message. We hope you come back to Hawaii to see the dolphins and sea turtles again.
書き込みありがとうございます。また是非ハワイのイルカ、ウミガメに会いに来てください。
I couldn't understand Japanese, so I just went with the flow.
When I made the reservation, there was no mention of anything, but one of the instructors was taking photos and tried to sell the data (SD card) for $30, almost forcefully. I paid for it thinking it would be a nice keepsake, but after returning home and checking the data, I found that many of the photos were out of focus. I think $30 is a rip-off for that. I believe it's much better to take selfies with a GoPro, so if you're recommended to buy it, it's better not to.
The parasailing itself was fantastic, as the weather was great. I recommend going to a height of 150 meters.
日本語が通じないので流れに任せて、、という感じでした。
予約時に何も記載がなかったがインストラクターの一人が写真を撮影していてそのデータ(SDカード)を30ドルで半ば強制的に?売りつけてきました。記念にと思い支払いましたが帰国後にデータを確認するもピントボケしているものが多くこれで30ドルはぼったくりかと思います。ゴープロで自撮りしてる方がよっぽどいいかと思うので、もし購入をすすめられたら買わない方がいいです。
パラセーリング自体は天気も良く最高でした。
高さは150mがおススメです。
The zipline in nature was refreshing. Kualoa Ranch is often used as a movie filming location, and on the way to the zipline, it felt like a location tour, which was a nice bonus.
大自然でのジップラインは
気持ちよかったです。
クアロア牧場は、映画ロケ地でよく使われており、ジップライン場所へ行くまで、ロケ地ツアーみたいになってて得した気分です。
I was overwhelmed with joy to interact with dolphins for the first time! There were Japanese-speaking staff, so I had no trouble at all. However, there weren't many places to spend time at Sea Life Park, which left me with a bit of free time. It was nice that I could watch some shows, though.
初めてイルカと触れ合えて感無量です!日本語のスタッフの方もいるので全く困りませんでした。ただ、シーライフパーク自体あまり時間を潰すところがなく少し暇な時間がありました。ショーなど見れたのでよかったです。
There was no sand beach but the water only came to my knees It was awesome to stand in the ocean even if you can’t swim. No scary wave or under tow to worry about. The crew were efficient alerts for topknot.i would recommend this to everyone I wish I had brought my 7 year old grandson. The cute old guy playing the guitar set the mood and all was well with the world we were in Hawaii We got to see lots sea turtles!! If you swim this will exceed your expectations if was fun watching the kids snorkel and we could tell them from the boat where the turtles were! I was setting next to Japanese prince or something because when I tried to talk to him he ignored me so I told the crew that spoke Japanese to tell him it’s was fun visiting with him he laughed and nodded at me
My husband and I elected for the Appetizer Cruise option on the Fireworks night (Friday). The Majestic was a solid, stable boat with seating and standing / inside and outside options. Additional drinks were reasonably priced and the buffet appetizers were tasty. The evening entertainers (two musicians and a Hula dancer) were terrific.
Given that this cruise is only on Fridays I booked it from home before leaving, which also gave us something to look forward to in advance, thiugh later learned that some folks were able to secure a spot a few days before. For the price, thus is MUST! I will forever remember watching the fireworks from the ocean with the backdrop of Waikiki hotels all aglow....
I was a bit worried about getting seasick since we were going out on a boat, but it didn't rock at all, and I was completely fine. The BBQ hamburger was delicious, and we saw a lot of sea turtles, so it was a very satisfying tour. I highly recommend it. However, maybe because it was January, it was really cold out on the water, and I couldn't fully enjoy snorkeling, which was a bit disappointing.
船で沖にでるので、船酔いが若干不安でしたが、全く揺れることなく大丈夫でした。BBQハンバーガーも美味な上に、ウミガメもめっちゃ見れ、大満足のツアーでした。お勧めします。ただ、1月だからなのか、沖に行くと寒くて、寒くて、シュノーケリングが満喫できなかったのでが残念でした。
Parasailing itself was fun and a valuable experience! However, it was disappointing to encounter issues with the reservation time and transportation. (We might have just been unlucky...)
[What was disappointing] The shuttle did not arrive at the scheduled time, and we were left waiting. In frustration, we called the local desk of the travel agency we were using for assistance, and they informed us that "the operator had made a mistake with the reservation time." The time we had booked and nearby times were not available, resulting in us being rescheduled for a session two hours later, wasting our morning. We might have just been unlucky, but I wanted to leave this information for future travelers.
[What was good] Parasailing was a lot of fun! The staff was very encouraging. I wore a swimsuit and did a water splash, but my upper body didn't get wet. So, I think waterproofing clothing isn't that necessary. (Please make sure to put your phone in a waterproof case when taking pictures!) Your feet will get wet, so you should bring a large towel!
パラセーリング 自体は楽しく、貴重な体験でした!が、予約時間や送迎などのトラブルに巻き込まれてしまった事が残念です。(私たちがたまたま巻き込まれたのかもしれませんが…。)
【残念だったこと】予約した時間になっても送迎の車が来ず、待ちぼうけをくらいました。困って、利用していた旅行会社の現地デスクに電話をして仲介をしてもらったところ「業者側が予約時間を間違えていた」とのこと。私たちが予約をした時間や近い時間はNGで、結果2時間後の回に回されて午前中が無駄になってしまいました。私たちがたまたま巻き込まれただけかもしれませんが、今後利用される方々への情報程度に書き残しておきます。
【よかったこと】パラセーリング はとても楽しかったです!スタッフのお兄さんも盛り上げてくれます。水着を着ていき、水ジャポンをしたのですが、上半身は濡れませんでした。なので衣類で防水対策はそこまで必要ないかと思います。(※携帯で撮影する場合は必ず防水ケースに入れてください!※) 足は濡れるので大きいタオルは持くべきです!
Thank you for enjoying parasailing.
However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by a scheduling error from the local operator, which resulted in no pickup at the time stated on your voucher, leaving you to wait with uncertainty.
Although you were able to participate at a different time, we again apologize for the unexpected circumstances that caused a gap in your valuable time in Hawaii.
We have received a report that the person responsible for the scheduling error on that day has been given a strict warning.
To prevent similar inconveniences in the future, we take your valuable feedback seriously and will work with the local operator to further improve our services.
Thank you for your understanding.

I was glad to encounter more sea turtles than I had imagined. The snorkeling was organized in a way where participants moved along the coral reef in a line, so I was focused on keeping pace with those in front, behind, and beside me, leaving me little room to leisurely enjoy the underwater scenery. It would have been nice to have a bit more space to take my time and enjoy it.
想像以上にたくさんのウミガメに出会えて良かったです。シュノーケリングはツアー参加者が連なる形で珊瑚礁に沿って進むスタイルだったので、前後左右の参加者のペースに合わせる事に精一杯でゆっくりと海中の景色を楽しむ余裕がありませんでした。もう少し間隔を空けてゆっくり楽しめたら良かったです。
We were the only Japanese people, but everyone was friendly and talked to us! Even if you can't speak English, you'll manage just fine! Haha. It was my first time parasailing, and the view was absolutely amazing! I have a fear of heights, but I was having so much fun that it didn't bother me at all!
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、みなさん気さくで話しかけてくれました!英語が喋れなくてもなんとかなります!笑 初のパラセイルでしたが、景色は最高過ぎました!高所恐怖症でしたが、そんなことよりも楽し過ぎて気になりませんでした!
My boyfriend and I went to this event on the first day of our trip. Our coach is so nice and accommodating. The oxygen tank is heavy and I couldn't really carry it. So he actually carried it for me and helped me wear it when I was in water so it didn't feel heavy haha.
For the next half an hour, we dived around and saw so many small, tropical fishes swimming around us. We saw coral reefs and even a starfish.
It was our first time scuba diving, and our coach is so patient and nice and explained the procedures and things to keep in mind to us in detail. He also answered all the questions I had. He took photos and videos of us scuba diving.
Overall, it was such an amazing experience!
I love the ocean and often go diving and snorkeling, but this was my first experience with sea bob. It was more casual than diving, and I was able to enjoy views that I couldn't see while snorkeling. During the middle of the dive, I fed the fish, and it was the first time I was surrounded by so many fish! Haha (o^^o)♪♪ I also got to see a sea turtle up close, and I had an incredibly fulfilling time. Thank you to the staff. I will definitely visit again! ♡
海は大好きでダイビングやシュノーケリングは良くするのですが、
シーボブ体験は初めて。
ダイビングよりも気軽に、かつシュノーケリングでは見れない景色を楽しめました。
ダイブ中盤での魚の餌やり、
あんなに沢山の魚に囲まれたのは初めてです!笑(o^^o)♪♪
海ガメも間近で見れて、最高に充実した時間を過ごせました。
スタッフさん、ありがとうございます。
また必ず訪れますね♡
