Oahu
Before putting on the equipment, I had to take off my clothes that I didn't want to get wet, but I forgot to take them off and it was a bit chaotic. However, I had a great time floating in the sky! It was amazing!!
器具をつけられる前に濡れたくない洋服は脱がなければならなかったのに、脱ぎ忘れててんやわんやしましたが楽しく空を浮遊できました!
最高でした!!
This time, I only booked the horseback riding course, but I thought it would be more efficient to add another activity. I believe a 2-hour horseback riding tour would be fine.
今回は乗馬コースのみの予約でしたが、もう1つのアクティビティをつけた方が時間を有効活用できると思いました。2時間の乗馬ツアーなら問題ないと思います。
I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and whales for the first time! I was so excited to swim with my partner! However, unfortunately, it was quite windy, and after getting out of the sea, I was so cold that I couldn't stop shivering. The boat was also rocking quite a bit, and since we went into the water about three times, you'll need several bath towels! The motion sickness medication didn't help much, but it seems better to take it for the placebo effect! If I get the chance again, I think I would like to go.
初の野生のイルカ、ホエールを見れて感激!
一緒に泳ぐのにパートナーと大興奮でした!
しかしあいにくの風で海から出た後は寒すぎて震えが止まらない。船も大分揺れるし、
3回ほど海に入るので、バスタオル何枚かは必要!
酔い止めもあまり効かないけど、プラセボ的にも飲んだほうがよさそう!
また機会があれば、行こうかな、と思います。
I participated with my two grandmothers and my 5-year-old son! The trainer spoke a little Japanese (>_<), but we enjoyed touching the dolphins! We kissed and shook hands... and took some photos to finish (^_^;) I wish we could have interacted more with the dolphins or seen a show (°▽°), but I was satisfied!
婆ちゃん2人を連れて(見学者)5歳の息子と2人で参加しました!
日本語少し(>_<)のトレーナーでしたが、イルカに触り和みました!
キスをして握手をして...写真を撮って終了(^_^;)
もう少しイルカと触れ合うか、ショーでも見せて欲しかったかな(°▽°)
でも満足でした!
It was the first parasailing experience for my parents in their 50s and 60s. Both of them had great smiles. I regret not being able to give the tip smoothly. I wanted to express my gratitude, so it's a good idea to research the customary amount and prepare it in advance, rather than rushing at the moment.
50・60代の両親にとって、初めてのパラセーリングでした。2人ともいい笑顔が見れました。チップをスマートに渡せなかったのが悔やまれます。
感謝の気持ちを伝えたくて、渡したくなるので、その時慌てるより予め相場を調べて用意しておくと良いですよ。
This was one of my highlights. This is a well-planned thriller for anyone that wishes to get a great view of the waterfront. Safety is paramount, putting everyone at ease. The pleasant banter is great and the staff members are experts in their field. I enjoyed the entire time and got some great shots of the boat and the view. Anyone wanting some adventure without travelling far from the beach - this is a great package!
We flew as a family of three. My son, who just turned five, could only experience this here. It was about a five-minute walk from our accommodation at Hilton Grand Vacations, so the kids were fine without getting cranky. The weather wasn't great, so it was a bit chilly... I thought he might be scared of the activity, but he was super excited (laughs). On the way back, he managed to splash just his feet in the sea :-) I brought a waterproof camera, so I took pictures of the scenery from the sky myself instead of asking someone else to do it. The people who participated with us had someone take their pictures, and they got some quite humorous shots, so I thought I might ask for photos when my younger son is old enough to join.
親子3人で飛びました。
5歳になったばかりの息子が体験できるのはここくらいでした。
宿泊しているヒルトングランドバケーションから徒歩で5分くらいのところだったので、子どももグズることなくよかったです。
天気はあまりよくなかったので、少し肌寒かったです・・・
アクティビティ自体は怖がるかなーと思っていたのですが、大興奮でした(笑)
戻るときにうまい具合に足だけ海ポチャしてくれました:-)
防水カメラを持参していたので、撮影は頼まず自分で空からの風景を撮りました。
一緒に参加した方たちは撮影を頼んでいて、なかなかユーモアのある写真を撮ってもらっていたので、次男が参加できる年齢になったときには撮影をお願いしようかなぁ、と思いました。
After reading the reviews, we decided to participate because it met our travel conditions:
- Activities suitable for three people
- Enjoyable for elementary school children and older adults.
The staff seemed to speak a little Japanese, so there were no communication issues. Everyone on the same boat was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie.
On the boat, cheerful music played as we headed out to sea. Each group took turns jumping.
It mentioned to wear swimsuits in advance, but I didn’t have one, so I participated in clothes that could get wet. That was not a problem at all.
During the parasailing, we enjoyed the view of the horizon, Diamond Head, and airplanes from the ocean, with a refreshing breeze making it the best experience! After we got off the boat, we were lucky enough to see a whale swimming at just the right moment! Before the parasailing ended, they let us dip our feet in the water. They adjusted based on the people, and while we only dipped once, a couple went in twice, and a group of male college students got splashed several times, which was entertaining for us to watch.
While we were flying, the staff took many photos. We received the data on an SD card for $30. Considering that in Japanese theme parks, one photo costs 2000 to 3000 yen, this was a bargain!
It was a valuable experience!
口コミをみて、
・3人でもできること
・小学校低学年や年配の人でも楽しめること
という私たちの旅行条件に叶っていたので、参加しました。
スタッフさんは、日本語も少し話せるみたいで、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。
同じ船に乗った人たちは、みんな日本人だったので、なんとなく連帯感も。笑
船の上では、陽気な音楽が流れ、沖までいきます。各グループごとに順番に飛びました。
水着を事前に着用してくださいと書いてましたが、私は水着を持ってなく、濡れてもいい格好で参加しました。それでも問題なかったです。
パラセイリング中は、沖から眺める水平線、ダイヤモンドヘッド、飛行機、など景色が楽しめて、爽やかな風が気持ちよく最高の体験でした!
そして私たちは、船に降りてからでしたが、タイミングよくクジラが泳いでるのが見れました!
パラセイリングが終わる前に、海に足が浸かるようにしてくれます。人をみて加減してくれてて、私たちは、一回浸かっただけでしたが、カップルは二回、男子大学生?のグループは、身体まで何回かポチャンしてもらってて、見てる私たちも楽しませてもらいました。
飛んでる間、スタッフさんが写真を沢山撮ってくれます。
S Dカードでデータをもらい、30ドルです。日本のテーマパークで、1枚写真を買うのに、2000〜3000円することを思うと、安い!
貴重な体験ができました!
Whilst it was beautiful and scenic. It felt very touristy and quite overrated given the price. In hindsight booking the AV prob would have been better. We did the movie tour and secret island with beach activities.
About seven years ago, I participated in a sandbar tour. It was in September. I joined with my kindergarten son, and it became a wonderful memory...
This time, during my year-end and New Year trip, I went to Hawaii for the first time in seven years and participated in the sandbar tour again, but at this time of year, it was rainy, windy, and too cold in the water! For snorkeling, it was so cold that my kindergarten daughter couldn't even get in the water.
The adults were doing their best to get in, but if the weather could be predicted better, it might have been a more enjoyable tour! The staff were very kind, talking to everyone and sharing various stories, which made the tour time enjoyable, but it was still too cold for me.
7年ほど前にサンドバーツアーに参加した事があります。しかし時期は9月でした。幼稚園の息子と参加して、良い思い出になりました…
で、今回年末年始の旅行で7年ぶりにHawaiiに行き、良い思い出のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、この時期、雨、風、海の中、寒すぎ!シュノーケリングなんて、寒くて海に入る事自体、幼稚園の娘なんて無理でした。
大人の方達は、頑張って入ってましたけど、天候をよく予測出来れば、楽しいツアーになるのかもしれませんね!
スタッフの方達は、すごく優しく、みんなに声をかけて色々お話もしていただき、ツアーの時間を楽しませていただきましたが、ヤッパリ私には寒かったです。
Epic is the word that comes to mind. We had the best time. It was more than we had anticipated. We have lived here for 11 years and this was our first time sailing with the Star Of Honolulu. The 5 Star dinner cruise with Live Jazz made our 14th anniversary that much more special. From the warm reception, meeting and greeting the Captain, the Ono pupu’s to the amazing 7 course meal and top notched entertainment we felt like royalty. You can’t beat the amazing sunset and whale sightings either. If you are looking to celebrate or just relax and take in the sights the Star Of Honolulu is definitely the thing to do.
We had a great and memorable time from start to finish. Mahalo Star Of Honolulu .
My husband and I had a spectacular time on this 5 star dinner cruise. We've lived here for 11 years and this was our first time experiencing the elegance and absolute superb 5 star dinning experience the Star of Honolulu offers. From start to finish everything was spectacular. We were treated like VIP's. We were greeted and warmly escorted to the boat where we partook of some extremely delectable pupu's while being serenaded by a Polynesian dancer and ukulele player. We were also introduced to the Captain of the ship and was afforded a photo op with him. As the evening progressed the boat set sail and the 7 course meal did not disappoint. We ate until our belly's were super tight. Did I mention the majestic sunset we watched from our window seats? Simply amazing! We also enjoyed the top shelf drinks that were apart of the menu. But not to worry if you are not an alcohol drinker there are many non-alcohol drinks to choose from.
This dinner cruise truly exceeded our expectations and we would wholeheartedly recommend the 5 star experience especially for that very special occasion. Its the perfect way to celebrate. It's kid friendly too. Mahalo Star of Honolulu for a very memorable anniversary! #14yrs
This cruise was a nice boat ride. All employees were friendly, welcoming and pleasant. The shuttle ride to the boat was on time and information shared by employees was clear. The buffet dinner was average. It seemed to take a while for serving dishes to be refilled and there was a shortage of utensils. The cruising of the boat was lovely, ample time to observe the sunset, fireworks. The major negative would be only two restrooms available for everyone. The live music was well done and very enjoyable.
Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!
The thrill of watching the fireworks from the sea on Friday was amazing!
However, the time spent anchored on the water was quite long and felt stretched out. I also think the Star of Honolulu cruise ship is better.
金曜日の花火を海上から見る醍醐味はありました!
しかしながら、海上に停泊する時間が長くて間延びしてしまいますね(^_^;)
あとクルーズ船についてはスターオブホノルルの方が良いと思います。
When I got home and tried to look at the data sent to my computer, I found that I couldn't save it to view. I contacted them to ask them to send the data to my mobile by attaching my mobile address since I couldn't view it via email forwarding, but they never sent it at all. It feels like I just threw away the money I spent on the data... I'm shocked.
I think it would be better to burn the data on-site and hand it over in situations like this.
帰ってパソコンに送られてきたデーターを見ようと思ったら保存して見ることが出来ません。メール転送で、見れないので携帯のアドレスを添付して携帯にデーターを送って下さいと連絡したのですが、全く送ってくることなくデーター購入したお金が捨てたのと同じで…ショックです。
こういう事もあるので、その場でデーターを焼いて渡すとかした方が良いと思います。
My daughter, despite her worries, started crying because she wanted to touch more and feed the fish. It seems she had a great time! If there's another opportunity, I would love to choose again!
娘は心配をよそに、もっと触りたい、お魚あげたいと泣き出すほど。とっても楽しかったようです!また機会があれば選びたいです!
We departed from the harbor located further inside the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The staff spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease listening to their explanations.
The 150m parasailing offered breathtaking views!!
As a kind gesture, they let us splash into the sea while being pulled back to the boat from the air. The time spent heading out was also fun, like riding a jet ski.
Thank you very much!
アラモアナショッピングセンターの更に奥にある港から出発でした。スタッフの方は日本語喋れますし、安心して説明を聞けます。
150mのパラセーリングは絶景でした!!
ご厚意で、空から船へ紐を引っ張って戻るとき海にバシャバシャッと付けてもらいました。沖に出るまでの時間もジェットスキーみたいで楽しいです。
ありがとうございました!
I have always wanted to interact with dolphins. During my trip to Hawaii, among the many dolphin tours available, I chose the Sea Life tour, which guarantees encounters with dolphins over the wild dolphin tours that are dependent on weather and luck! During the tour, we had an amazing time playing with the dolphins. We took pictures kissing them and high-fiving, which was very fulfilling! My whole family was delighted. Not only do we have memorable photos, but after playing with the dolphins, we were able to eat at the park and interact with other animals. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!
昔からイルカと触れ合ってみたいと思っていました。
ハワイ旅行で、イルカのツアーが沢山ある中
天候や運で左右される野生のイルカツアーより確実に会えるシーライフさんのツアーに参加しました!
ツアー中はイルカとめちゃくちゃ遊べます。キスする写真やハイタッチ等とても充実していました!
家族皆喜んでくれました。思い出となる写真が確実にあるのもそうですし、イルカと遊んだ後はパーク内で御飯を食べたり他の動物と遊べます。
とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました!
At Kualoa Ranch, there were various activities, but I had a great time experiencing the four-wheeler buggy for a full two hours, which seems like something you can only do in Hawaii! It went faster than I expected, and at first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, it was really fun!! I could have probably ridden for another hour (^_^) I want to go again!
クアロアランチでは色々なアクティビティがありましたが、ハワイでしかできなさそうな四輪バギーを2時間たっぷり体験しました!思った以上にスピードが出て、初めは怖かったのですが、慣れれてくると本当に楽しい!!あと1時間くらい乗れたかも(^_^)また行きたいです!
We travel by boat from the shore to the open sea and board a submarine. The boat rocks a lot, but the submarine is quiet. The sight of the large schools of fish gathering around the reef is spectacular. While there aren't as many coral reefs as in Okinawa, it's a great experience to have at least once.
浜から沖まで船で移動し、潜水艦に乗艦します。船はよく揺れますが潜水艦は静かです。漁礁に群がる魚の大群は見ものです。沖縄のようにサンゴ礁はいっぱいありませんが一度経験するには最高です
This time, we participated with two adults and two children, a total of four people. The ranch is incredibly vast, and it's even more enjoyable when you compare it to the movie! The bus is very cold, so I recommend bringing warm clothing like a jacket. All the tour guides are entertaining, so definitely participate!
During the cruise, the captain's steering occasionally splashed water on the guests standing at the front, which got everyone excited. There were children on board as well, but it can be quite bumpy, so please be careful.
By the way, for lunch, there was a buffet with delicious dishes like meat, rice, and cake served during the tour, which was great.
今回、大人2人、子供2人の4人で参加です。
牧場は凄く広大で映画と照らし合わせて見るとより楽しいです!
バス内は凄く寒いので上着など温かいものを持っていくことをオススメします。どのツアーのガイドさんも面白いので是非是非参加してください!
クルーズはキャプテンの操縦によって、一番前に立っているお客さんには時折波がかかって、みんな興奮気味でした。子供さんもいましたが、結構揺れるので気をつけてください。
ちなみに、ランチですが、ツアーの合間でバイキングでお肉、お米、ケーキなど美味しい料理がでて、良かったです。
We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding course as a family of four. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, but thanks to the thorough video explanation and the kind guide, we quickly got used to it. I think the horses were all calm and obedient.
The tour allowed us to climb narrow mountain paths that can't be accessed by buggies, jeeps, or buses, so we were able to fully enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend the horseback riding course!
2時間の乗馬コースに家族4名で参加しました。
馬に乗るのは全員初めてでしたが、丁寧なビデオの説明と、親切なガイドの方のおかげですぐに慣れました。馬もおとなしい従順な馬ばっかりだったと思います。
ツアーでは、バギーやジープ、バスなどで入れない細い山道を登れるので、静かな雰囲気で良い景色を充分楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬コース、おすすめします!
Unfortunately, it was cold weather for snorkeling though tour itself was well coordinated.
And my image of sandbar was less water like land.
I want to try it again in warmer season.
I tried parasailing for the first time, and I'm glad I did! It was less scary than I expected, and I was able to enjoy the view from above!
はじめてパラセーリングにチャレンジしましたが、やって良かったです!
思ったより恐くなくむしろ空の上からの景色を楽しむことが出来ました!!
I participated in an early morning tour. On the bus ride there, the instructions were explained very clearly and cheerfully, and they taught us pressure points for motion sickness, which made the journey enjoyable. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so even with the pressure points and medication, I still felt sick. However, I was lucky that day to see both dolphins and sea turtles! Although we were told not to chase the dolphins, they actually approached us, and we had to move aside (laughs). Even when the dolphins were out of sight, I could hear their calls when I put my ears to the water, which felt quite mysterious. The sea turtles were far away, but I was still moved to see them. I couldn't eat the hamburger at the time because I was feeling sick, but it was delicious when I had it after returning home. I didn't bring much money, so I was disappointed that I couldn't order the photo data. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and if I have the chance, I would like to participate again while enduring the motion sickness.
朝早いツアーに参加しました。
行きのバスの中では注意事項などとても明るくわかりやすく説明していただき、酔い止めのツボなど教えていただき楽しく移動できました。
私はとても酔いやすいのでツボを押しても、酔い止めを飲んでも酔ってしまいましたが、その日は幸運でイルカもウミガメも会うことができました!
イルカは追っかけてはいけないとのことでしたが、イルカの方から近づいてきてくれてこちらがよけるほどでした(笑)イルカの姿が見えなくても耳を海面に入れると近い時には鳴き声が聞こえていることがわかり不思議な感じでした。
ウミガメは遠かったですがちゃんとみれて感動しました。
ハンバーガーは酔っていたのでその時は食べられませんでしたが、帰宅してから食べたらおいしかったです。
お金をほとんど持って行かなかったので、写真のデータを申し込むことが出来ず残念でした。
トータルで満足できる内容で機会があれば船酔いに耐えながらまた参加したいです。
Due to heavy snow in Narita, my trip to Hawaii was cut short by one day. It was a pretty intense two days, but I think I was able to enjoy my time in Hawaii. I had actually booked a sunset cruise for the first day, but unfortunately, due to the flight cancellation and delays, I couldn't change it, and it was treated as a cancellation without any refund, which was really disappointing. It felt like my excitement was taken away.
And finally, I enrolled in Dolphin University! I heard there might be times when we can't meet the dolphins, which made me a bit anxious.
Now, we're on the boat! Departure! Shortly after we set sail, we spotted a whale spouting water, and then we got a message from the dolphin watching crew: "There they are! So many dolphins!" I think there were over 30 of them! They kept diving into the sea, and I was able to swim with them! It was so exciting! There were also mother and baby dolphins! We swam for quite a long time!
Next, we quickly found dolphins again, so we went snorkeling! The sea was beautiful! Wow! The turtle swam among us without being scared and popped up for air to say hello. I heard that touching it would incur a $70 fine!
What could have been a disastrous trip to Hawaii turned into an exhilarating experience, and I'm so grateful for that! You absolutely have to go! I highly recommend it!
成田大雪の為欠航になり、1日少ないハワイ旅行となりました。
かなりハードな2日間でしたがハワイ旅行満喫出来たかな〜
本当は初日サンセットクルージングも予約していたのですが残念ながら欠航遅延で変更も出来ずキャンセル扱いにもならず勿論返金も無くガッカリでした。
楽しみが奪われる〜〜

Aloha, Anko,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We are all very happy that you were able to have the experience of meeting Dr. Whale, Dr. Dolphin, and Professor Turtle, which is not something you can easily do in Japan. The weather was great, and we are grateful that you could enjoy the beauty of the ocean!
You can also swim with manta rays on the Big Island! If you have the opportunity, please try another new experience.
Mahalo, Dolphin Office
Aloha, あんこ様
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!
クジラ大先生、イルカ先生、カメ大教授にも会えるという
日本ではなかなか体験できない経験をしていただけて、スタッフ一同嬉しい限りです^^/
天気も良く、海の綺麗さも感じていただけて我々も感謝です!!
ハワイ島ではマンタと泳ぐこともできますよ!
機会があればぜひまた新たな経験をしてみてください♩

Riding along the coastline allows you to truly feel nature, and it's the best experience. The duration is just right, so I didn't feel any pain in my backside. The horses are calm and respond well to commands. The female staff who guided us were also very kind.
海岸線の乗馬は自然を凄く感じて乗馬出来て最高です。
時間も丁度いい感じで、お尻が痛くないです
馬も大人しくて、言うことを良く聞いてくれます
ガイドしてくれる、女性スタッフも親切でした。
The sandbar, which was also used for filming Pirates of the Caribbean, is a place I wanted to visit in the best condition! I predicted the tidal conditions in Kaneohe Bay, hoping that the sandbar might appear, and decided to join the trip with that expectation.
The result was a complete disappointment. Not only was there no sandbar, but I was a bit disheartened to find the water up to my thighs.
However, there’s no doubt that the sea was beautiful, and the strange sensation of being in shallow water despite being offshore was nice.
I didn’t join without doing any research; I had considered the worst-case scenario, so while I was disappointed, I still had a good time.
Just a note, January in Hawaii can get cold when the sun goes behind the clouds! I was shivering while wrapped in a towel on the boat.
The hamburger for lunch tasted especially good, probably because I had it on the boat.
For those thinking of participating, I believe you’ll be satisfied if you join with the mindset of just wanting to see the beautiful sea, without too much expectation.
パイレーツオブカリビアンの撮影にも使用されたというサンドバー。最高の状態で行ってみたい!と思い、カネオヘ湾の潮の状態を予測し、もしかしたらサンドバーが現れるかも!と期待して参加しました。
結果は、惨敗でした。サンドバーどころか、太ももまで漬かるレベルで少しガッカリ。
でも、綺麗な海である事は間違いなく、沖合いにも関わらず浅瀬という不思議な感覚は、良かったと思っています。
何も調べずに参加した訳ではなく、最悪のケースも想定して行ったので、ガッカリではありますが充分楽しめました。
ただ、1月のハワイは太陽が陰ると寒い!ブルブル震えながら船の上でタオルに包まれてました。
ランチのハンバーガーは、船の上で頂いたからか、とても美味しく感じました。
これから参加しようと思っている方は、期待しずぎず、綺麗な海を見に行く感覚で参加されたら満足されると思います。
Driving the buggy ourselves and visiting locations from Jurassic Park and King Kong was a lot of fun. The two hours flew by. The instructor deliberately took us over bumpy roads and large puddles, adding to the thrill. (For those who are scared, you can avoid those parts, so it's reassuring.) My sister had just gotten her license (laughs) and unfortunately failed the initial driving test, so she experienced it sitting next to the instructor, but she said it was fun. Even though I'm a nervous driver, I was able to drive without any issues, so I believe those who are unsure or can't drive will also enjoy it.
自分たちでバギーを運転し、ジュラシックパークや、キングコングの映画ロケ地を回るのは、とても楽しかったです。2時間はあっという間でした。インストラクターが、わざとデコボコの道や、大きな水たまりを走ったりしてくれるので、スリルも味わえます。(怖い人は、避けて走ればいいので安心です)私の妹は、免許を取ったばかりだったせいか(笑)最初の運転テストで不合格となり、インストラクターの横に座って体験しましたが、楽しかったそうです。また私はペーパードライバーですが、問題なく運転できたので、運転に自信がない方、運転出来ない方でも楽しめるはずです。
