Oahu
I'm glad I was able to see the sunken ships and airplanes, as well as many fish and sea turtles. Since the waves can be strong, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.
沈められた船や飛行機、たくさんの魚や海亀を見ることができて良かったです。
揺れが強いので、船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを持参するといいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour and for your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the underwater exploration. On days when the waves are strong, we recommend taking motion sickness medication. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again. Aloha!
この度はサブマリンツアーにご参加と書き込みをいただきまして誠にありがとうございます。海中探検をお楽しみいただだけたと伺い大変嬉しいです。波の揺れが強い日は、酔い止め薬の服用をおすすめ致します。またのご乗船をお待ちいたしております。アロハ!
The white couple was significantly late for the departure time, causing us to leave about 15 minutes behind schedule. We were the first two to go parasailing. Since there was a group of five Japanese men, one of them joined us, and we ended up flying with three people.
I think we had a longer time than the others, but since we went first, we had to wait for the others to fly afterward, and my daughter got a bit seasick. I recommend taking seasickness medication for those who are concerned.
It was over in a flash, but we had a great time.
出発時刻より白人のカップルが大幅に遅れて、出発がやく15分ほど遅くなりました。私たちは最初の2人でパラセーリングしました。5人の男性の日本人ツアーがいらしたので、私たち2人に1人いれられて、3名でとぶこととななってしまいました。。。
他のかたより時間は長かったとおもいますが、最初にとんでしまったため、そののあと、他の方が飛ぶのをじーっとまって、娘がすこし船酔いに。。。もし心配のかたは船酔いの薬を飲むことをお勧めします。
あっという間でしたが、とても楽しむことができました。
A lot of fun and easy to do! Crew was helpful and professional and funny! It would be nice to have fewer people on the tour so you can see more in the shark cage! Did see several sharks!!!!
We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. There were three other couples with us, one of which was also a newlywed couple from Japan.
The staff do not provide support in Japanese, but they can manage to some extent. It would be wise to remember some basic English for communication. However, the staff were very kind and cheerful.
It was our first time trying the 150m jump (my wife's request). First, we were partially submerged in the sea before ascending! It was scary, but the wind felt nice, and the view was amazing! Up in the air, it became quiet, allowing us to enjoy a graceful journey through the sky. The flight lasted about 10 minutes. It was a dream-like experience. When we were brought down, we were again partially submerged in the sea before returning (laughs).
A waterproof phone case is essential. I took photos while keeping my phone in the waterproof case! The other newlywed couple from Japan also took some photos from the boat's perspective.
There is also a staff member who takes photos, but please note that they are charged.
Overall, it was so much fun! It's a great experience that you can enjoy in a short amount of time! If you love heights, you should definitely try it! There’s no need to worry as it doesn’t have the terrifying thrill of a roller coaster!
新婚旅行で妻と二人で参加。
他に3組同行者あり。うち一組は同じく日本人の新婚さん。
スタッフは日本語対応はしていませんが、ある程度は大丈夫。
こちらも多少のコミュニケーションが取れる英語は覚えておいた方が無難でしょう。
しかしスタッフの方はかなり優しいお方。陽気な方でした。
初めてで150mに挑戦(妻の希望)
まず一回半身を海に浸けられてから上昇!
怖いけど風が気持ち良く、見晴らしも最高!!
上空は音も静かになり優雅な空の旅を楽しめます。
約10分の飛行。夢のような時間でした。
降ろされる時はまた一回海に浸けられてから戻されます(笑)
防水の携帯ケースなどは必須でしょう。
写真は携帯を防水ケースに入れたまま撮りました!
一緒になった日本人の新婚さんに、船視点の写真も撮ってもらいました。
一応スタッフさんの撮影もありますが、写真は有料なのでご留意を。
とにかく楽しい!短い時間で楽しめるので良いですよ!
高い所が好きな人はやるべき!
絶叫マシンのような怖さはないので、そこは安心して良いと思います!
Crew were outstanding. Friendly and funny. The experience was worth triple what we paid and would have done again if we had more time. Highly recommend to anyone!!
My daughter and I went parasailing, while my wife joined us on the boat without parasailing. We made the reservation for parasailing and paid by card through this site. However, when we arrived, they said my wife's payment hadn't gone through. I insisted that we had already paid before leaving Japan, but as the boat departure time was approaching, they pressured us about what to do, and in the end, we had to pay for my wife again. We were all excited to enjoy parasailing as a family, but this situation was very disappointing and completely ruined the mood. With experiences like this, I won't be returning.
私と娘の二人がパラセイルをして、妻はパラセイルなしのボート同乗でこちらのサイトからパラセイルを予約しカード支払いしました。が、現地で妻の分が払われていないと言われ、日本をでる前に支払い済みと主張したのですが、ボートがでる時間が近くなったのでどうするのかと詰め寄られ結局また妻の分を払いました。せっかく家族でうきうき気分でパラセイルを楽しもうとしてたのにがっかり先行でまったく気分が乗りませんでした。こういうことがあると二度はないですね。
I chose this tour because it's close to the hotel, but the meeting place was a bit hard to find. The scenery was wonderful, and I would like to participate again.
ホテルから 近くなので このツアーにしましたが、集合場所が少しわかりにくい。景色は素晴らしく また 参加したいとおもいます。
This was amazing! Everyone should try it at least once in their lives. Great crew, very helpful and fun!
Definetly do the 5 star....it was my wife's 40th Birthday and we had a great meal, beautiful views! Awesome sunset! GREAT music....the staff was wonderful and the setting was very romantic. I would do it again!!!
Last year, my wife and I participated and it was amazing, so this time we brought her parents along. Although they are over 70 years old, they practiced snorkeling in the shallow waters of the sandbar and managed to enjoy the deeper coral reef while wearing life jackets. They were also able to see sea turtles, and both of them were overjoyed.
昨年、夫婦で参加し、最高だったので、今回は奥さんの両親を同行し参加しました。
70歳を超えた両親ですが、サンドバーの浅瀬でスノーケリングの練習をして、サンゴ礁の深い海でもライフジャケット付けて何とか楽しんでました。
ウミガメも見ることができ、70歳を超えた二人も大喜びでした。
I've always wanted to try parasailing, and I finally got to do it in Hawaii! The shuttle arrived five minutes early, and as soon as I got in the car, I was laughing, which helped ease my nerves.
Once we switched to the boat, we were able to store our bags and shoes under the seats, which was reassuring. Life jackets were distributed to wear over our swimsuits. We were assigned our turns and fitted with the equipment for flying. I had taken motion sickness medication because I heard the boat could be quite rocky, but my companion ended up feeling sick. However, the staff kept encouraging us in a mix of Japanese and English, showing us where we could be sick if needed and handing out tissues.
As we waited for our turn in a counterclockwise order, when it was finally time to fly, we sat down and were connected to the equipment. Before I could even prepare myself mentally, I was told "Goodbye," and suddenly I was soaring up into the air. I was worried, but it was not scary at all—I felt like a bird and experienced the most amazing feeling. Once I was airborne, it seemed like my motion sickness got a little better, and I waved with a smile.
It seemed like they were considerate, as my plunge into the sea felt less intense than others. After floating back up, they slowly lowered us back onto the boat. The landing was much gentler than when I landed from paragliding on the ground.
Some people handed their smartphones to take pictures while we were flying. We asked the staff for "Pictures, please" before our flight and purchased the photo data. It cost $30, but since there were over 70 photos, I thought it was much cheaper than the typical tourist photos priced at 1,000 yen each.
Thank you for a wonderful time until the very end!
ずっと前から一度、体験してみたかったパラセイリング!
やっとハワイで参加できました。
送迎車は5分前に到着。車に乗ったとたんに笑わせてもらえて緊張もほぐれました。
ボートに乗りかえると荷物と靴は座席の下に入れるので安心です。
ライフジャケットが配られるので水着の上に着用。
順番が決められ、飛ぶ時の機材も装着。
船が結構、揺れると聞いていたので酔い止めを飲んでいたけれど、ツレは酔ってしまいました。
が、スタッフがリバースしてもいい場所を示しながら何度も替えのティシュを渡し
常に「へい!頑張って!!」と日本語まじりで励ましてくれていました。
反時計回りに順番が回ってきて、いよいよ飛ぶ時には並んで座り機材に繋がれ
心の準備の間もなく「サヨナラ」と言われたとたん、もう飛び上がっていました。
心配してたけれど、全然怖くなくて鳥になったように最高の気分を味わいました。
飛び上がったら酔いも少しマシになったようです。笑顔で手を振りました。
気を遣って下さったのか海ポチャは他の方より控えめな感じがしました。
もう一度、浮上して、その後ゆっくりと船内に降ろしてくれました。
地上でパラグライダーして降りた時よりも衝撃がありませんでした。
スマホを渡してお互い飛んでいる間の写真を撮ってもらっている人もいました。
私達は飛ぶ前にスタッフに「ピクチャー、プリーズ」と頼んで撮影データを購入。
30ドルしましたが70枚以上あったので、一枚千円の観光写真よりは
ずっと安いと思いました。
最後まで楽しい時間をありがとうございました!!
It was a lively session with 10 participants in 5 groups (3 of which were Japanese), likely due to it being the weekend. There were 3 staff members, 2 of whom were handsome, which was a nice bonus (laughs), and everyone had a great vibe, making it an enjoyable experience. I chose the lowest height option beforehand, but all 5 groups seemed to jump at similar heights and for about the same duration, so I thought the height selection might not matter much. At the end, they asked for a tip, but I felt it was justified given the level of entertainment provided. It seemed that having photos taken by the staff would cost $30, but if you ask them before jumping when you have companions, they were more than happy to take pictures for you, which I thought was sufficient.
週末ということもあってか、10名5組参加(うち3組が日本人)で、大変賑やかな回に当たりました。スタッフの方3名で、うち2名はイケメンで目の保養にもなり(笑)、みなさんノリも良く、楽しませていただきました。飛ぶ高さは、事前に1番低めを選択しましたが、5組とも同じような高さで、同じような時間飛んでいたので、高さの選択はあまり関係ないのかな、と思いました。最後にチップを求められましたが、それに見合うだけのエンターテイメント性があったので、当然払うべきと感じました。スタッフに写真撮影してもらうと30ドル、とかかかるみたいでしたが、同乗者がいる場合には、飛ぶ前に頼んでおけば、みなさん快く撮ってくれていたので、それで十分ではないかなと思いました。
We had grreat fun!! The crew was super helpful and made the snorkeling easy! We saw several turtles!
I had a disappointing experience when my family was placed away from the window on a cheap plan, so this time we opted for a decent plan. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, so we were able to see the sunset. As for the show, the quality of the singing was impressive and definitely worth seeing. However, regarding the taste, it felt a bit bland. Well, there were a lot of options, after all.
家族が安いプランで窓辺から離れて残念だったという経験があり、今回はまずまずのプランで申込み。
曇り時々晴れということでサンセットは見られました。ショーについては、歌のクオリティ高っ!で、見ものです。で、お味ですが、うーん。大味って感じです。まぁ数が多いからね
We took on a challenge during our honeymoon! On the day, there was another Japanese couple, which made us feel more at ease. However, all the explanations were in English, so I was completely lost... I felt sad about my lack of ability, but it was a lot of fun! It wasn't as scary as I thought, so for those who are hesitant, I definitely recommend giving it a try!
新婚旅行で挑戦しました!当日は日本人のカップルがもう一組いたので心強かったです。ただし説明などは全部英語なのでサッパリでした。。自分の不甲斐なさに悲しくなりましたが、とても楽しかったです!思ったより怖くなかったので、迷ってる方は是非挑戦してみて下さい。
Since I went to Hawaii, I thought I should try something adventurous, and I hit the jackpot with parasailing!! Great value for the price! I highly recommend it♪
せっかくハワイに行ったのなら、なにか体験ものをしていなとパラセイリングをしたところ大当たり!!コスパ高し!オススメです♪
I participated in a monitor tour where the second person was free. We took the bus from Ala Moana to get there. It took over an hour, but the location was easy to find. There was an entrance to the ranch across from the bus stop, and after walking for just under 10 minutes, we arrived at the ranch.
On the day we participated, there were only two participants, so we were able to take our time. The experience was more about riding around the ranch on horseback, so it might feel lacking for those expecting to gallop on the horses. Also, we joined the first tour of the day, but it was quite hot, and I got sunburned in short sleeves, so I recommend wearing long sleeves even if it's hot.
二人目無料のモニターツアーで参加しました。
アラモアナからthe busを利用して向かいました。
一時間以上かかりましたが、場所は分かりやすかったです。バス停の向かいに牧場の入り口がありそこを10分弱歩くと、牧場に着きます。
私達の参加した回は、ちょうど参加者が2名のみでしたので、ゆっくり回ることができました。
馬に乗って牧場を回るという感じなので、馬で走ることを期待している人には、物足りないかもしれません。
また、朝一番の時間で参加しましたが、かなり暑く半袖だと焼けましたので、暑くても長袖をオススメします。
馬に乗るために私たちのところに来ていただきありがとうございます。私たちは、馬に乗ることができる方のために、進んだ(速歩)乗馬を提供しています。またのご来場をお待ちしております。
Thank you for coming to ride horses with us. We offer an advance (trotting) with a horse for people that know how to ride a horse. We hope you come back.
It was my first time trying snorkeling, but I had a great time thanks to the kind staff who taught us.
When entering the water to explore with the dolphins, it's essential to move your legs to swim.
Even if you fall behind, the staff will be right behind you, so you can feel at ease.
I fell behind and was slow, so they helped pull me along (laughs).
If you borrow a wetsuit, it's $10 per person (cash payment on the day), but I think it's worth it!
So for your outfit on the way (like a swimsuit), it's better to choose something simple that's easy to wear, rather than something cute and frilly.
The day I participated, the wind was very strong, so it was disappointing that we couldn't do any water sports, but I was satisfied to see the dolphins and sea turtles up close♪
The staff kept the energy up until the end, making it a very satisfying tour!
シュノーケリング初挑戦でしたが、
スタッフさんらが親切に教えてくれたので楽しめました。
海に入りイルカを散策するときには、
自分で足を動かして移動することが必須ですが、
遅れをとってしまった場合も
後ろにスタッフさんがついていてくれるので安心です。
私は遅れをとってしまいなおかつスピードも遅かったので
引っ張ってもらって移動してくれました(笑)
ウェットスーツを借りる場合は
1人あたり$10(当日現金払い)ですが、
借りた方がいいと思います!
なので行きの服装(水着)などは
可愛いフリフリのものよりかは、ウェットスーツが着やすい
シンプルなものにしたほうがいいです。
私が参加した日は風が大変強くて
マリンスポーツが出来なかったので残念でしたが、
イルカもウミガメも間近でみれて満足でした♪
最後までスタッフさんも盛り上げてくれるので
とても大満足なツアーです!
Thank you for participating. As advised, it would be best to come to the tour in comfortable clothing that is easy to change into. It's a shame about the marine sports, but please come back next time for a chance to try again!
ご参加ありがとうございます。
アドバイスにございますように、ツアーへは着替えのしやすいラフな服装でおいでいただくのが良いかと思います。
マリンスポーツ、残念でしたが次回リベンジにぜひいらしてくださいね!
As mentioned in other people's experiences, the claim that this is "the only dinner cruise in Hawaii that can take you from Waikiki to offshore Diamond Head" was false. It followed the same route as Star of Honolulu and turned back well before reaching Diamond Head. It may have been due to high waves on the day, but there was no explanation provided. I had explained to other first-time visitors to Hawaii that we would go to offshore Diamond Head... The food was delicious. It was also nice that it wasn't as large as Star of Honolulu and had fewer people.
他の方の体験談にも記載がありましたが、「ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまで行くことができるハワイ唯一のディナークルーズ」というのは嘘でした。スターオフホノルルと同じコースを辿り、ダイアモンドヘッドのはるか手前で折り返し。当日は波が高かったのでそうなったかもしれませんが、その説明は無し。他の初ハワイの人たちに、「ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖まで行く」と説明したのに・・・。食事は美味しかったです。スターオフホノルルほど大きくなく人が少ないということも良かったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with the expected cruise to Diamond Head, which must have been disappointing.
Upon confirming the details of the cruise course with the local operating company, we found that there has been a change in the course since May 2017, and it no longer includes a trip to Diamond Head. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused due to our lack of coordination with the local operating company, which resulted in outdated information being published.
In response to your feedback, we have updated the tour page with the correct information.
We take your comments seriously and will strengthen our collaboration with the local operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy time.

My wife and I booked this during our honeymoon and definitely enjoyed ourselves! The food was delicious, the view was spectacular and gave us plenty of picture opportunities at sunset on the back of the ship! We definitely enjoyed the on board entertainment with the hula dancers, the gentleman on the ukelele, solo vocalist, pianist and they even had a saxophone player who dabbled in the art of the jazz flute! What a great night out!!
2nd time using these guys in Waikiki. they are nice, funny and organized. Would definitely recommend and will use again. Till next time...
I have traveled to Hawaii several times, but this was my first experience swimming with wild dolphins, and I was really looking forward to it. Thanks to the favorable weather, I was able to swim with pods of dolphins multiple times. It was absolutely amazing!
ハワイ旅行は数回してますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐ体験は初めてで楽しみにしていました。
天候に恵まれたこともあり何回もイルカの群れと泳げました。最高にハッピーでした。
Aloha, Ishii!
Thank you for participating in the tour of the prestigious Dolphin University. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. There are also manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.
Mahalo!

Aloha!! ishi様
この度は名門イルカ大学のツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございました。
日本では中々経験できない体験をして頂けて、スタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
ハワイ島にはオアフ島にはないマンタツアーなどもございますので、またのご参加を心待ちにしております。
Mahalo!!
イルカオフィス
Staff attentive and superbly caring, trained. Lots of fish, sea turtles right in front of you. Will repeat next time for sure.
I was really anxious because there were no staff who could speak Japanese. The bus guide on the way there and back sang songs and had breakfast from the morning, and in the end, they got off first without even saying goodbye.
日本語の話せるスタッフがいなくて、すごーく不安でした。行き帰りのバスガイドさんが、朝から朝食を食べ歌を歌って、最後は挨拶もしずに先に降りて帰りました。
I was able to see a lot of turtles, and I could get a second helping of hamburgers, so that was great. However, this time there were a lot of people, and the bus was really crowded.
でも、カメも沢山見れて、ハンバーガーもお代わりできたので良かったです。ただ、今回は大人数で、バスが凄く混んでました。
I wanted to experience parasailing on my honeymoon, so I made a reservation! I was quite hesitant since I'm not good with thrill rides and tend to get seasick, but I decided to challenge myself since it was a special occasion! I boldly chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision!
At first, it was really scary, but once I saw the view, all my fears disappeared. It felt amazing. I had my DSLR with me, and when I handed it to the staff, they happily took several photos for me! They even used a shark toy to take fun pictures! Of course, tipping is essential; we gave $20.
The foreign guests around us were handing their iPhones to each other to take photos and videos, so that's another option if you're feeling brave. I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness. I have a weak vestibular system and get seasick easily, but I took a 24-hour medication, and I was fine! Just be prepared for the boat to rock a lot and go fast!
The explanations were in English, but even if you don't understand everything, you can manage with the vibe!
ハネムーンでパラセーリングを体験したいと思い予約!
絶叫系苦手だし船酔いもしやすいのでかなり迷いましたがせっかくなので挑戦することに!おもいきって150mにしましたが正解です!
最初はめちゃくちゃ怖いのですが景色みると吹っ飛びます。すごく気持ちがいいです。
自分で一眼レフを持っていたのでスタッフの方に渡したら快く写真を何枚もとってくれました!
サメのおもちゃとか使って面白く撮ってくれますよ!もちろんチップは必須です。私たちは$20渡しました。
周りの外国の方はiPhoneを渡して写真とって、ムービー撮ってと行って撮りあいっこしていました。勇気がある方はその方法もありです。
船酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでいくことをオススメします。わたしは三半規管が弱くかなり酔いやすいので24時間効くものを飲んでいったら平気でした!かなり船がゆれるし早いので覚悟してください!
英語での説明ですがわからなくてもノリでなんとかなります!
I've lived here for a few years and have really wanted to experience the sand bar. Overall the crew and boat were excellent.! It was crowded and frustrating with tourists not understanding English and basic instructions like "Do Not Stand Or Touch the Reef." Sad~ and makes me wish it was a more eco friendly tour.
It was thrilling, and there was a rainbow over Waikiki, making the view absolutely stunning! The advanced board skills allowed me to dip my feet into the ocean, adding to the excitement!
スリル満点、丁度ワイキキに虹もかかっていて景色も最高でした!
高度なボードさばきで海に足元を漬けてくれたりと、スリル満点でした!
We participated as a couple. Since check-in was at the beach in front of the hotel, there wasn't a check-in counter; instead, there was a staff member under a parasol, which mixed in with other beachgoers and was a bit confusing (laughs). I thought this was quite typical of being overseas. We moved to a boat in front of the Halekulani Hotel to board.
Everyone else was from English-speaking countries. The crew spoke only in English, and since I had some snorkeling experience, I managed to keep up. The snorkeling lasted quite a while, about an hour. There was an explanation in English on how to put on the gear, and we were given life jackets and goggles (no fins, but that was fine). Equipped with the snorkeling set, we headed into the sea!! When I swam along with the crew, there were sea turtles!!! I was thrilled to encounter four of them! The seawater was a bit murky, so it was hard to see the fish, but I still had a great time. After that, we returned to the boat for sailing. It was an exhilarating moment with the large sail unfurled, creating a sense of speed. You can buy water and beer on the boat, so no need to worry about drinks! (Cash is better.) There was also a restroom on board. Since sailing can be quite bumpy for a long time, those prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication. It was a great activity to enjoy the waters of Waikiki in a short amount of time!!
夫婦で参加しました。
ホテルの前のビーチでチェックインという事だったので、チェックインカウンター的なものはなく、パラソルの下に担当のお姉さんが居て他の海水浴客のパラソルと混ざり困惑(笑)これも海外っぽいなぁなんて思いました。
ハレクラニホテルの前にある船に移動して乗船。
私達以外は全員英語圏の方だった。
船員も終始英語で、スノーケル経験者だったのでなんとかついていけたって感じ。
スノーケルは長めで、1時間くらい。英語での装着の説明もあり、ライフジャケットと水中メガネを渡されます。(フィンは無し。無くても大丈夫でした。)
スノーケルセットを装備していざ、海へ!!
船員の人に泳いでついて行くと…そこには海ガメが!!!その後も4匹も出会えて感動でした!少し海水が濁っていたので魚は見えにくかったですが、楽しめました。その後、船に戻ってセイリング。大きな帆を広げてスピード感とスリリングなひと時でした。お水やビールなども船上で買えるので飲み物の心配なし!(現金の方が良い)トイレも船内にありました。セイリングは割と長い時間揺れるので船酔いする人は酔い止めが必要です。
ワイキキの海を短時間で楽しめる良いアクテビティでした!!
Straight off Waikiki beach - fun crew. We had dolphins frolicking off our bow and escorting us halfway to Diamond Head then saw plenty of turtles when we snorkeled.
