Oahu
It feels like you're floating as you rise higher and higher, and when you reach 150 meters, the people on the boat look like tiny dots. Once you're up there, it feels like you're just floating, and it's not scary at all—it's a very satisfying attraction.
ふわりと浮く感じでどんどん上昇して行って、150mまでいくとボートにいる人が点に見えるくらいに上昇します。一度上がってしまうと浮いているようで全く怖くなく、大満足できるアトラクションです。
The sandbar was very beautiful! It was great that the guide actively took photos for us! The lunch was also delicious.
サンドバーはとても綺麗でした!
ガイドの方が積極的に写真を撮ってくれてよかったです!
ランチも美味しかったです。
Really nice cruise, Great music and service. Relaxing, nice views of Honolulu.
The driver was on time and gave interesting information on Hawaiian history and culture. Beautiful views!! Enjoyed by all.
Had a wonderful time. We had the loberster and steak was excellent cook perfectly!
The underwater scooter was really great! They made an effort to gather fish by scattering food just before we went in, and they took pictures of us as a couple, which I think will create really fun memories (^^)♪ However, other aspects were lacking...
First, most of the staff didn't speak Japanese, so even when I wanted to confirm something, it was difficult to communicate. Also, I wasn't offered any light snacks, and I ended up not knowing where they were located. The explanation for the stand-up paddleboarding was just "You paddle while standing," and then we were left to figure it out on our own. It seems that aside from the underwater scooter, everything else was treated as just a way to pass the time. Considering that, I think it's an expensive option.
Also, it was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is definitely necessary! I was confident that I wouldn't get seasick, but I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life (^^;
水中スクーターは本当によかったです!
直前にエサをまくなど魚を集める工夫をしてくれたりカップルだと
並んで写真を撮ってくれたり本当に楽しい思い出になると思います(^^)♪
ですがそれ以外が・・・
まずスタッフがほとんど日本語が通じなく確認したいことがあっても
なかなか通じなく困りました
あと軽食などいっさいすすめられることなく結局どこにあったも分からずじまいで
スタンドアップパドルボートも「立って漕ぐんだよ」ぐらいの説明であとは放置でした
結局水中スクーター以外は時間つぶしのおまけ的な扱いなのでしょう
そう考えると高いオプションだと思います
あとすごく揺れるので酔い止めは絶対必要です!!
絶対に酔わない自信があったのですが人生で初船酔いを体験しました(^^;
This is my third time paragliding, and I'm a repeat customer. Every time, I enjoy flying so much. The instructions are mainly in English, but they provide a Japanese instruction manual. They entertained me with some broken Japanese. If I have the opportunity to go again next time, I will definitely participate!
3回目のパラセイリングで、リピーターです。
毎回気持ちよく飛んでいます。
説明は主に英語ですが、日本語の説明書があり渡してくれます。片言の日本語で楽しませてくれました~
また次回行く機会があれば参加しまーす。
The waves are small, but even without much paddling strength, you can ride them if you time your push on the board well, so anyone can catch a wave. If I could wish for anything, it would be to ride slightly bigger waves so that it wouldn't get boring until the end.
In the end, everyone was able to stand up and strike a pose with smiles.
Anyway, paddling is tough... At the end, I was able to purchase a CDR of the practice footage taken from the beach for $30.
Overall, I am satisfied.
小さい波ですが、パドルの力が無くてもタイミング良くボードを押してもらえるので誰でも波に乗ることが出来ます
欲を言えばもう少しだけ大きい波に乗れると最後まで飽きなくていいなーと思いますが
みんな最後には立てるようになり、笑顔でポーズを決めていました
とにかくパドルがキツイ…
最後、練習風景をビーチから撮影いただいたCDRを30ドルで購入することが出来ました
概ね満足です
This was just perfect for me and aside from the strong winds causing the visitor center to be closed , I was very happy I took the self guided tour and yet had the informative drive up to the drop off location with the added pointers, water and walking stick (it did come in handy but I could've done without it). It was a good value and our driver Romero , was great!
On that day, the rain and cold made it quite different from the scenery we had hoped for. However, the guide was very nice, and we saw a lot of sea turtles, and my husband even saw a manta ray. I think it would be an amazing place if the weather were clear.
当日、雨と寒さで期待していた情景とだいぶかけ離れた物になってしまいました。しかし、ガイドのお姉さんもとてもいい人だったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れて、主人はマンタも見れました。晴れたら最高の場所だと思います。
This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done… it's a must bucket list item. It is like you are transported to another world and underwater world and I got to see fish, turtles, sting rays - just amazing - you won't regret it. Thanks to the whole team, they made is such a fun experience.
I never thought I would go parasailing but I can honestly tell you that these guys were amazing and I felt very safe the whole time. My sister and I had an awesome time!!
Our day at Pearl Harbor was poignant and thought provoking about one of the United States' greatest experiences with man's inhumanity to man. It made us proud that we persevered and eventually won this horrible war, but saddened and overwhelmed that so many lost their lives in this effort. As for what could be improved in the commercial experience, I would recommend fliers accompany the headsets we rented for the Arizona tour to provide better information regarding how to work them. We had difficulty working these, and turned them in early before realizing how they should work. We arrived late for our tour time due to rental car issues, so it is possible this criticism is unfair as we had to rush to make the start of our tour. Aside from that it was wonderfully educational and I would recommend it to everyone. It's a great place simply to sit and contemplate what might have been.
One of the activities I absolutely wanted to experience on my trip to Hawaii was dolphin swimming. Since I chose the early morning plan, the meeting time was before 6 AM! I booked it for the latter part of the trip when the effects of jet lag were less, and going to bed early the night before seemed to pay off, as my husband and I, who are usually not morning people, managed to wake up properly. (Maybe we woke up because we were so excited?)
A large bus came to pick us up, and despite the early hour, the staff greeted us cheerfully. After the English explanation on the bus, they kindly provided a detailed explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring.
There were about 20 people that day, roughly half of the maximum of 40. Upon arriving at the port, we were finally ready to set sail! Unfortunately, it seemed there were no dolphins at the first point we headed to, so we had to move to a different location. As a result, the travel time by boat was longer than usual, which meant our snorkeling time was shorter.
When we arrived at the next point, we finally dove into the sea! After swimming for a while, when we turned to the staff's signal… there were so many dolphins!! We could clearly see them swimming right beneath us. We also saw many dolphins during our second dive.
Although the snorkeling time was indeed a bit shorter, we were able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles. The boat ride took longer, but it seemed that no one got seasick, and during the travel time, the staff shared various stories and even performed hula, which kept us entertained throughout the tour.
On the way back, I think all the participants were fast asleep! It was just what we needed to recharge a bit.
ハワイ旅行で絶対に体験したいアクティビティのひとつがドルフィンスイムでした。
朝イチのプランを選択したため、集合時間は6時前!時差ボケの影響が少ない旅の後半の日程に予約して、前日早めに寝たのが功を奏したのか、朝は比較的弱い夫婦ですがきちんと起きることができました。(楽しみだったから否応なしに目が覚めたのかも?)
大きなバスのお迎えが来て、早朝にもかかわらずスタッフの方も明るく出迎えていただきました。バスの中で英語での説明が終わった後日本語でも丁寧に説明してくださり、安心でした。
この日は20人ほどで、MAX40人の約半分。
港に到着し、いよいよ出港!最初に向かったポイントでは残念ながらイルカがいなかったようで、急遽違うポイントへ移動することに。そのため普段よりもボートでの移動時間が長くなり、その分シュノーケルの時間が短くなってしまいますと説明がありました。
次のポイントに到着し、ようやく海へダイブ!しばらく泳いでスタッフの方の合図でそちらのほうを向くと…たくさんのイルカが!!自分たちの下を横切っていくのがばっちり見えました。
2回目のダイブでも、たくさんのイルカが見れました。
その後のシュノーケル時間はやはり少し短かったようですが、魚やウミガメも見れて楽しめました。
ボートでの移動時間は長くなりましたが、船酔いするような人はいなかったようですし、移動の間もいろいろなお話をしてくださったり、フラを披露していただいたりと、ツアー中ずっと飽きずに楽しむことができてよかったです。
帰りのバスはたぶん参加者全員爆睡!ちょうど少し疲れもとることができよかったです。
We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
It was a very powerful and beautiful show.
The food was great, as we got to enjoy traditional Hawaiian cuisine.
I was unsure how to use the drink tickets, and unfortunately, we ended up leaving without using them, which was disappointing.
結婚記念日のお祝いで行きました。
とても迫力があり、そして美しいショーでした。
料理は伝統のハワイアンを食べられてとても良かったです。
飲み物のチケットの使い方がわからず、結局使わずに帰ってしまったのが残念でした。
SANDBAR: The sandbar was a surreal experience. It was beautiful to be finally here, but like the beautiful breasts of Italian marble, there is not much one can do with the simplicity of this place, except enjoy the view. I have never been so satisfied with so little to do, but so much to visually feel.
SNORKEL: Nice experience. More fish to see than Kailua Beach area, but less fish than Hanauma Bay.
BOAT and RIDE: Nice vessel. Clean. A little crowded, but I enjoyed the variety of different cultures, their languages and behavior.
Tour Staff: They were friendly, experienced, and kept us safe.
Overall Experience: Very positive and I would recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful experience thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, enjoyed the history lessons and jokes along the beautiful landscape. Would definitly go again
I booked this for the main event of a company trip. I had previously participated in a plan from a certain famous tour company, but due to scheduling and the tides, I chose this one instead. As a result, I had a very enjoyable time. The Japanese female guide was excellent. I highly recommend it!
社員旅行のメインイヴェントで予約しました。以前に某有名ツアー会社の企画に参加したことがありますが、日程の関係と潮の満ち引きでこちらを予約。結果とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。日本人女性のガイドさんが最高。おすすめです!
I was able to meet Dolphin-sensei sooner than I expected, and even at such a close distance! I was lucky to unexpectedly meet Whale-sensei as well. It seems like good things are coming, and I felt very happy.
思って以上に 早くイルカ先生と会えて しかも とても近い距離で!!
思いがけず クジラ大先生にも 会えて ラッキーでした。
いい事 ありそう とても ハッピーな気分になりました。
Thank you for participating this time. It was quite lucky to meet the great whale teacher during this season! We look forward to your next participation. Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました。クジラ大先生にこの時期会えるなんてかなりラッキーでしたね!またのご参加をお待ちしております。Mahalo!
I participated in a beach horseback riding plan with my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. After visiting Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation, we headed to Haleiwa. The guide mentioned that they would call in an order for garlic shrimp, but I really wanted to eat huli huli chicken, so I arranged this tour to match the day and decided to walk to get the chicken instead of ordering. There were no tables or chairs provided, so I enjoyed it sitting on a bench at a nearby bus stop.
I was able to enjoy shopping and take my time in Haleiwa more than on previous tours. Heather Brown's artwork was about $5 cheaper than in Waikiki (according to the staff, the prices differ because she operates out of the North Shore).
After that, we went horseback riding. The explanation was in English, but the guide also provided interpretation and took photos for us. The horse occasionally wandered off to eat grass, and I couldn't lead it as I wanted, but it was very gentle, and I enjoyed leisurely watching the ocean and taking pictures. I definitely recommend this over Kualoa.
Then we went to see the honu (sea turtles). The waves were high, so we thought we might not see them, but we were able to see them up close. Along the way, we saw a surfing competition from the car, making for a very fulfilling tour. The guide shared various stories and kindly offered to take photos at each stop, making for a very friendly and wonderful experience.
ハワイ初めての主人と2人で海辺乗馬プランに参加しました。
モアナルアガーデン、ドールプランテーションに続き、ハレイワへ。
ガイドさんがおすすめのガーリックシュリンプを事前に電話注文してくれるとの事でしたが、
私は今回どうしてもフリフリチキンを食べたくて、曜日を合わせてこのツアーを申し込んだので、注文せずフリフリチキンを食べに車を降りてから歩いて行きました。
食べる机やイスは用意されていないので、近くのバス停のイスで頂きました。
ショッピングをしたり以前参加したツアーよりもゆっくりとハレイワを満喫できました。
ヘザーブラウンの作品は、ワイキキよりも5ドル程安かったです。(店員さんによるとノースショアを拠点に活動しているので、値段が違うのだそう)
その後、乗馬へ。
英語での説明でしたが、ガイドさんが通訳もしてくれ、写真も撮ってくださいました。
お馬さんは、途中草を食べに寄り道したり思うようにリードすることが出来ないこともありましたが、とても大人しく、海を眺めたり写真を撮ったりのんびり楽しめました。
クアロアよりも断然おすすめです。
それからホヌを見に行きました。波が高いせいもあり、見られないかも…との事でしたが無事に間近で見ることが出来ました。
途中サーフィンの大会をやっているのを車から見られたり、とても充実したツアーでした。
ガイドさんも色々なお話をしてくれたり、行く先々で写真撮りましょうか~と話しかけてきて下さって、とても気さくで、素敵な時間を過ごせました。
While I was slightly hesitant to pay $$$ to go on a couple hours of zip lining, I am so very glad I did. My kids and I had a truly memorable experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The views are stunning, the guides were hilarious and safety was the top priority the entire time. My only regret was that I couldn't take the rest of my family with me!
We had a group of 41 (high school trip) and they loved the snorkel/sail trip ... as well as the lunch. We would do it again!
When I tried to book a zip line on Maui during my previous visit, I was told it was fully booked for quite some time, which was disappointing. So this time, I was eager and made my reservation early. Since I wasn't very confident about driving on Oahu, I opted for a shuttle service.
As others have mentioned, there was a bit of an issue with the shuttle. It was crowded, and they arrived more than 20 minutes late. The driver didn't come looking for me, so I had to go around checking each vehicle, asking, "Is this for the zip line?" Finally, when I found the driver who said, "Yes, get in!", I tried to show him my voucher, but he said, "I know, just show it when we get there," and didn't check my name before I got in the car. I had heard there were two zip line locations, so I showed my voucher to another American customer and confirmed, "We're going here, right?" which finally put my mind at ease.
There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were Americans, but the driver was cheerful and chatty, and the other customers introduced themselves. It was a friendly atmosphere, and we arrived in no time. The zip line experience was undoubtedly fun, making it the best day ever.
I wish there had been a voucher check at the beginning, as it would have saved me from so much anxiety.
However, I definitely want everyone to experience the zip line, so I give it ★★★★★!!
以前、マウイ島に行ったときに現地でジップラインを申し込もうとしたら、だいぶ前から予約でいっぱいだと言われ、残念な思いをしたので、今回は張り切って、早めに申し込みを済ませました。
オアフ島での運転はちょっと自信がないので、送迎付きで。
他の方も書いていらっしゃいましたが、その送迎に少し問題ありでした。
混雑していて、20分以上遅れてやってきましたが、運転手さんの方から探してくれなかったので、自分から1台ずつ、「ジップライン?」と探して回りました。
ようやく「そうだよ、乗って!」と言ってくれた、運転手さんにバウチャーを見せようとしたら、「わかってるから、現場に着いたときに見せればいいから」と、名前のチェックもしてくれないまま、車に乗り込みました。ジップラインは2箇所あると聞いていたので、他のアメリカ人のお客さんにバウチャーを見せて「ここへ行くんだよね?」と確認して、ようやく安心しました。
日本人は私たち2人だけで、あとはアメリカ人でしたが、運転手さんも陽気でおしゃべりで、他のお客さんたちも自己紹介をしたり、和気あいあいとした、バスの中であっという間に到着し、ジップラインは文句なく楽しく、最高の一日となりました。
最初に、バウチャーのチェックがあれば、あんなに不安にならなくて済んだのにと残念です。
でも、ジップラインは是非、皆さんにも体験してほしいので、★★★★★です!!
I understand that the weather can be unpredictable, so I'll write this with that in mind. Please keep that in consideration as you read.
At the sea turtle observation point, we were guided with a typical foreigner’s vibe. You can take it as fun or annoying.
At the sandbar location, we were dropped off in water that reached our waists, and we had to walk through water that came up to our ankles. It was very cold since the sun wasn't out. In the distance, there were other tours, and I could see the sandbar that I really wanted to see. I thought, why not just go there? But I suspect there are territorial boundaries in place. However, for us participants who paid a lot of money and have limited time, that doesn’t matter. If the sandbar was visible, I wish they had mentioned it.
From start to finish, it felt like a tour that was just taking advantage of Japanese people. That said, this might be something that can be said globally...
天候に左右されるのは承知の上で書きます。
読者側もそれを踏まえてお読み下さい。
ウミガメ観測地点では、適当な外人特有のノリで誘導されます。面白いととるか、ウザいととるか。
サンドバー地点では、今回は水面が腰まであるところで降ろされ、水面がくるぶしのところまで歩かされました。
太陽が出てなかったので非常に寒かったです。
遠方には違うツアーなのか、いかにも見たかったサンドバーが散見されました。
それならばそこまで行けば良いのでは?と思うのですが、おそらく縄張りがあるのではと思います。
しかし、高いお金を払って滞在時間が限られている我々参加者にとっては、そんなの知ったことではありません。
サンドバーが見えているのであれば言ってほしかったです。
最初から最後まで、日本人をカモにしているとしか思えないツアーでした。
とは言いつつ、これは世界的に言えることかもしれませんが。。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your expectations.
Hawaii is warm throughout the year, but we understand that on the day of your tour, the sun was not out, which may have made the water feel cold and caused some participants to feel chilly. We hope you understand that we strive to bring the tour as close as possible to the best locations by boat, with the intention of ensuring everyone enjoys the experience.
Regarding the sandbar, please note that the location where boats can dock is determined by the tour company, and the water levels change daily, which can affect visibility. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us despite your busy schedule.

It was a more enjoyable attraction than I had expected! I was also moved by the efforts to protect coral, which takes a long time to grow. Fortunately, a large sea turtle was swimming right beside me.
期待していた以上に楽しいアトラクションでした!
成長にとても時間のかかる珊瑚を守る活動にも感動しました。
ラッキーなことに、大きな海ガメがすぐそばを泳いでいました。
I was nervous about my first parasailing experience, but the instructor was fun and my anxiety disappeared. The wind felt great and the view was amazing. The sea was very beautiful, and I really enjoyed it. I definitely want to do it again next time!
初めてのパラセイリングでドキドキでしたがインストラクターの方も楽しくて不安もなくなりました。風が気持ちよくて眺めも最高☆海がとても綺麗で本当に気持ちよくて次も絶対にやりたいと思いました。
Taking this tour was very helpful in making sure we made the most out of our visit. Our guide gave us a detailed review of the area so that we were able to make an informed decision on our activities. I would definitely recommend this tour.
I participated with my 4-year-old son a year and a half ago. He was really looking forward to touching the dolphins, but he was very nervous since he was the first one. In the end, he couldn't kiss the dolphin, but overall it was an enjoyable tour. I hope to participate again when my still-small daughter grows up.
1年半前に4歳の息子と2人で参加しました。
イルカを触れるのをとても楽しみにしていた息子でしたが、
トップバッターだったためか大緊張。
結局イルカにキスはできなかった息子でしたが、
全体的には楽しめたツアーでした。
またまだ小さい娘が大きくなったら参加したいと思っています。
We celebrated a 25 th anniversary, and had a fantastic time. The crew was friendly and fun.
This was amazing. My whole family including my 15 year old says it was the best thing we did in Hawaii. Guides were great and loved what they do. We even saw whales on the way home and they tried to get us close to them for pictures. Fabulous time!
