Oahu
I decided to book parasailing this time because it seemed like the most exciting ocean activity. I can do banana boat rides and jet skiing anytime, but flying in the sky is something you can't do every day. I had heard about my friend's experience doing it before, so I was determined to try it.
It was my first time booking a tour online, but it was manageable as long as you have a computer (laughs). There were quite a few details to fill out.
On the day of parasailing, the local driver arrived at the hotel right on time to pick us up. I handed over the voucher printed in Japan. Although Japanese wasn't understood, the driver was very cheerful and friendly. Even though he didn't speak English, I managed to understand the meaning of a few words and communicated through gestures, which was fun! I felt a bit regretful that I couldn't speak English (laughs).
We picked up other participants one after another and headed to the marina. Most of them were Japanese couples, including us. The driver wasn't a Japanese guide, but he kindly shared recommendations for delicious local restaurants while driving, which was helpful.
As for clothing, it's basically fine to stay in your swimsuit and just wear something over it. A water-resistant hoodie like mine is sufficient. Just make sure to put your towel, phone, camera, and money in a waterproof bag. I was trying to take pictures while flying (laughs).
When we arrived at the marina, there was a local staff member who could speak Japanese, which was a relief! They took pictures of us flying and saved them on an SD card, which they sell back to you for $30.
The boat captain and staff were manly Americans! They were very kind! R&B music was blasting from the speakers on the boat, which really pumped up the mood. I would love to go sea bass fishing on this boat (laughs). We departed from the marina and headed offshore.
We set up the equipment and were connected to a huge parachute. The moment the captain released the wire... we shot up into the sky (laughs)! It was incredibly high, and the view was amazing! I had no idea flying could feel this good. The staff on the boat were taking pictures with a DSLR camera (laughs). It was the best! This is perfect for anyone who dreams of flying!
However, when we took off, there was a sudden downpour, and we were caught in heavy rain while in the air! I quickly took a lot of pictures and videos with my waterproof phone!
I felt like a pilot escaping from a downed fighter jet (laughs). Eventually, the wire was reeled in, but some people were dropped into the sea. We also ended up splashing into the water!
It became an amazing memory.
I'm not quite sure, but it seems like you can choose the height you fly at, yet everyone was at 150 meters, right? On the boat, no one was checking who was flying at what height. I have a feeling that even if you book for 90 meters, you might end up flying at 150 meters. Can someone try it? If that's the case, it might be better to book at the cheaper rate.
Anyway, it was incredibly fun!
On the way back, we bought the SD card and were taken back to the hotel. Since we are Japanese, let's remember to follow etiquette and place towels on the seats for the ride home!
今回パラセーリングを申し込んだのは、海のアクティビティで一番エキサイティングに思えたからです。
バナナボートやジェットはいつでも出来ますから。空に舞い上がるなんてなかなか出来ないですよね。
友人が以前やってた体験談を聞いてたので、絶対にやろうと思いました。
初めてインターネットでツアーを申し込んだ訳ですが、まあまあ、パソコンがあれば気合いで申し込めますね(笑)登録内容は多いですが。
パラセーリング当日、時間ぴったりに現地のドライバーさんがホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。
日本で印刷したバウチャーを渡しました。
日本語は通じなかったんですが、かなり明るく気さくなドライバーさんで、英語わからなかったですが、一個の単語の意味を理解し、ジェスチャーでなんとかコミュニケーションとれて楽しかったです！逆に自分が英語わからないのが残念で悔しい(笑)
あと、自分達以外に申し込んだ方々を次々ピックアップ してマリーナへ。
ほとんど日本人カップルばっかりでしたね、自分達もですが。ドライバーさんは日本語ガイドではないですが、現地の料理の美味しいお店を教えてくれなら運転してくれて参考になりました。
服装は基本的に水着のまま、上からなんか着ればいいです。自分みたいに海用のパーカーあれば十分。あとはビニール袋に、タオルやケータイ、カメラ、お金等を防水仕様にしていれれば大丈夫です。自分飛んだまま撮影しようとしてたんで(笑)
いざマリーナに着くと日本語しゃべれる現地スタッフさんがいて助かりました！
飛んでる写真を撮影してＳＤカードに保存、30ドルで帰りに売ってくれるみたいです。
ボートの船長さんやスタッフさんも男らしいアメリカ人！とても優しいです！
ボートではスピーカーからR&Bが爆音で流れててテンションブチアゲです。このボートでシーバス釣りに行きたい(笑)
マリーナを出発！沖合いへ。
装備をガチャガチャセットして、二人で巨大なパラシュートに繋がれて。
船長さんがワイヤーをフリーにした瞬間…………
空にぶっ飛んで行った自分ら(笑)
めちゃめちゃ高いし、景色が最高！
空を飛ぶのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて知らなかったです。
ボートからはスタッフさんが一眼レフでパシャりしてるし(笑)
最高！空を飛ぶのに憧れがある人には最適です！
ただ、自分達がぶっ飛んで行った時は突然のスコールで、空中で激しい雨に見回れ騒ぎまくりました！すかさず、防水仕様にしたスマホから写真撮りまくり、ムービー撮影しました！
気分は撃墜された戦闘機から脱出したパイロットです(笑)
ようやくワイヤーを巻き取られますが、人によっては海に落とされます。
自分らも海にジャボンされました！
めちゃめちゃいい思い出になりました。
よくわからないのが、飛ぶ高さ選べるみたいですが、みんな150メーターなんじゃないですかね？
ボートの上ではいちいち誰が何メーター飛ぶなんて確認してないですよ？
もしや、90メーターで申し込んでも150メーター飛ばされるような気がする。
だれかやってみて？だったら安い料金で申し込んだ方がいいんじゃ？
まあ、なんにせよ、めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです！
帰りはSDカードを買い、ホテルへ送迎。
日本人ですから、マナーを守り、タオルを座席に引いて帰りましょうね！
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
We also appreciate your enjoyment of the parasailing experience.
Regarding the height you mentioned, it is adjusted by the length of the cable. Therefore, you can enjoy the height you requested, so please rest assured.
Thank you for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

This is EXCELLENT!!! When my brother went back to the hotel he kept raving about it.....how excellent his experience was...and how very supportive the divers were.
AWESOME!!!
We had a great time. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. We had a few surprises such as the turtle watching and the snorkeling at the beautiful reef. The food was great and the hot cocoa and beverages were a plus. There was more people than we expected but overall we had a wonderful time. Thank you captain bobs gang ;)
This was my second time horseback riding in Hawaii. The first time, I participated in a local tour at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I was drawn to the seaside course and set off to the ranch by rental car. However, there was no sign at the entrance of the ranch, and after entering a couple of other properties and being told it was the wrong place, it took quite a while to finally arrive. When we got there, there were only four of us as guests, and both the staff and the horses were relaxed. Time to ride! It was written that the riding session would last 45 minutes, but it seemed like we walked slowly. On the sandy beach, locals were enjoying barbecues and sunbathing while listening to music. The horses were quite greedy, lowering their heads to eat grass, which made me a bit nervous, but it was a lot of fun. After horseback riding, we went swimming nearby, and it felt like a private beach. Thank you, Adriana!
ハワイでの乗馬は二回目です。１度目はクアロア牧場の現地ツアーに参加しました。今回は海辺のコースに惹かれてレンタカーで牧場までいざ出発しました。・・・が、牧場の入り口に看板らしきものがなく、２か所ほど他の敷地内へ入っては違うと言われ、たどり着くまで結構な時間がかかりました。着いてみると、客は私たち４人のみで、スタッフも馬ものんびり。いざ乗馬！乗馬の時間は４５分と書いてありましたが、ゆっくり歩いていただいたようでした。砂浜の海辺は現地の人たちが音楽を聴きながらバーベキューや日光浴をしていました。馬たちは食いしん坊で草を食べる度に頭を下げるのでヒヤヒヤしましたが、とても楽しかったです。乗馬の後は牧場の近くで海水浴をしましたが、まるでプライベートビーチみたいでした。アドリアーナさんありがとう！

What a fantastic experience. Both the guys on the boat we great and made the experience really fun and relaxing despite me being seasick and afraid of heights. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who likes a bit of thrill seeking.
I made a reservation for the 23rd, but unfortunately, it was rainy. When I received a call to cancel, I asked if I could change the date, and they were able to move it to the next day. The following day, Honolulu was clear, and I was able to enjoy parasailing without any issues! The staff were locals and didn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. Half of the participants were Japanese, so I was able to chat and have fun! The parasailing experience lasted longer than I expected, and I had a really meaningful time. They took nearly 100 photos for $30, and I was very satisfied! I would love to use this service again next time!
23日で予約をしましたがあいにくの雨。キャンセルの電話が来て日にちをずらすことができるか伺ったところ翌日に変更して頂きました。そして翌日、ホノルルは快晴で無事パラセーリングを楽しむことができました！スタッフは現地の方で日本語×でしたが特に問題なく、参加した方も日本人の方が半分を占めておりお話ししたりと楽しむことができました！パラセーリングは思ったよりも長い時間ですごく有意義な時間を過ごせました。写真も30ドルで100枚近く撮っていただき大変満足です！
また次回も利用したいです♪

I signed up for the 90-meter option. On the day of the event, since our accommodation was at the Hilton, we walked there. Including us, there were three groups, with two of them being Japanese. I had seen reviews mentioning seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication before participating. It didn't sway much, but since it was a small boat, I think it's definitely better to take it. Also, the captain spoke entirely in English (laughs), and there were many things I didn't understand, but I guessed he was saying not to touch the bar above our heads, just as the reviews mentioned. According to the height order, we were supposed to be second, but ended up going last. An American lady told us, "You were the highest," so I thought maybe we were mistaken for the Japanese couple who were on the 120-meter option. Since the prices are different, it's important to confirm this!
My husband was strongly opposed, but once we flew, it was really quiet, and I understood how birds feel (laughs). I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I was truly satisfied.
They will ask you about photos when you get on, but it's better to mention it just in case. It's 30 dollars for 135 photos, and since it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I don't think it's expensive. It was truly a great experience!
90メートルで申し込みました。
当日、宿泊先がヒルトンだったので徒歩で向かいました。私たち含めて3組、内日本人は2組でした。向かうまでに船酔いをするとの口コミを見ていたので、酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。あまり揺れなかったのですが、小型の船なので必ず飲んだ方がいいと思います。また、船長さんはオール英語(笑)何言ってるのか分からないことも多かったのですが、とりあえず頭上にあるバーには触らないと口コミ通りのことを言ってるのだと推測…。高さ順に行くと多分私たちは2番目の予定でしたが、最終で飛ぶことに。「あなたたちが一番高かったわよ」とアメリカ人のマダムに言われたので、一緒に乗っていた日本人カップル(120メートル)と間違われたのかなと思います。料金が異なるので、ここはしっかり確認したほうがいいです！！
主人は大反対でしたが、飛んでみると本当に静かで鳥の気持ちがわかりました(笑)一生に一回の経験だと思っていましたので、本当に満足しました。
写真は乗るときに聞いてくれますけど、一応伝えたほうがいいです。135枚で30ドル、一生に一回なので、高いとは思いません。本当に良い経験でした！

We are a young couple, 21 & 20! The staff were the friendliest people we have come across in Hawaii! The experience itself was worth every cent! Fish came right up to us, you can even touch them! Highly recommend!
Staff were amazing and made the adventure perfect. Awesome experience shared with my nephew. Coming back to Hawaii in April and will be doing this again for 3rd time! Sea was really rough but made it all so much more fun, was given option to change days or refund but so glad we decided to go ahead, was a fabulous day.
Although the weather was unfortunately bad on the day, we were able to see many turtles. The plan mentioned a barbecue lunch, but it was actually a cheeseburger.
当日はあいにくの悪天候でしたが、多くの亀を見ることができました。
プランでは、バーベキューランチと書かれていましたが、実際にはチーズバーガーでした。

The day before, there was a once-in-30-years heavy rain, so the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see corals and cute little fish, and sea turtles also popped up occasionally, which was enjoyable. However, today, unfortunately, muddy water from the mountains started rushing toward the sandbar, and when I tried to escape, it was already right in front of me, and I ended up getting soaked. My swimsuit got quite dirty, so I wish the guide had told us to get out earlier if they had noticed.
この日は前日が30年に一度の大雨という事で、海が濁ってましたが、シュノーケリングではちゃんとサンゴや可愛い小魚を見ることができましたし、ウミガメもちょいちょい顔出してくれましたので楽しめました。
ただし今日は運悪く山からの泥水がサンドバーに向かって押し寄せてきたので逃げようとしましたが、気付いた時には目の前まで来ていて浸かってしまいました。
これで水着がかなり汚れましたのでガイドさんには気付いていたのであれば早く上がれって言って欲しかったですね。

On November 14th, I participated in the Heaven's Ocean Tour. The ocean in Hawaii is beautiful everywhere, but the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay was exceptional. I was also able to see many sea turtles. When I went snorkeling near the coral reef, a lot of tropical fish came close and ate bread from my hand. The hamburger I had on the boat was also very delicious. Thank you to all the staff!!
11月14日 天国の海ツアーに参加しました。 ハワイはどこも海は綺麗ですが ｶﾈｵﾍ湾のサンドバーは格別でした。 また海ガメも沢山見ることが出来ました｡ 珊瑚礁の近くでシュノーケリングすると 沢山の熱帯魚が近づいてきて 私の手からパンを食べてくれました。 船上で食べたハンバーガーも大変美味しかったです。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました!!

It was a shame that it rained heavily halfway through, but the weather is nobody's fault, so it can't be helped! Also, I couldn't understand the explanations in English from the tour guide during the jeep tour with the foreigners... (*_*) However, I was very satisfied with the nature at Kualoa Ranch!
途中から雨がざんざん降ったのが残念でした～
けど、天気は誰のせいでもないのでしょうがないけどね！
あとはジープツアーが外人の方と一緒で搭乗員英語での説明が全然分からなかったのが…(*_*)

We were the only ones picked up, and it was a comfortable drive in a beautiful sedan! When we arrived at the farm, none of the staff spoke Japanese, but they were very friendly! While waiting, I chatted in broken Japanese with the person next to me, and it turned out she was the instructor's mom! Climbing the hill in a 4WD Jeep was an impressive attraction in itself! Not only did we go down seven zip lines, but there was also a suspension bridge along the way, and we got to taste tomatoes, all while enjoying the beautiful scenery—it was the best!
お迎えは私たちだけで、綺麗なセダンで快適なドライブ！
ファームに着くとスタッフは日本語誰も話せないけど、とてもフレンドリー！
待ってる間にカタコトで隣の人と話してると、その方はインストラクターのママでした！
４駆のジープで坂道を登りそれだけでも立派なアトラクション！
７本のジップラインを下るだけでは無く途中に吊り橋あり、トマトの試食有りで景色も良く最高！

Great food, great show! You are truly catered to and the scenery was breathtaking
The tour operators were amazing - we made a last minute decision to do a parasail and we were accommodated at the very end of the day.
It was am experience to remember and the view was awesome at the end of a 1000ft line.
Thank you for the memories.
I went to Hawaii for a wedding and did parasailing there. I didn't tell my sister, who came with me, that I had booked the 150-meter course... At first, she was scared, but once she tried it, she was super excited. The time spent in the air was long, and I was very satisfied. There were courses from 90 to 150 meters, but it seems like it's more about the length of the rope rather than the height. The 90-meter course had a shorter time in the air, so if you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery for a longer time, I recommend the 150-meter course.
結婚式でハワイに行き、そこでパラセーリングをやりました。
150なコースを頼んだ事を一緒に行った妹には告げず…最初怯えていた妹も飛んでみると大興奮。
空中での滞在時間も長く大満足でした。90から150のコースまであったのですが、高さとゆうより、ロープの長さ？ですかね。
90のコースの方は空中滞在時間も短かったので、長く綺麗な景色を楽しみたいなら150のコースがお勧めです

The weather wasn't very good, so I couldn't experience much excitement. It was quite cold... It would have been perfect if I could have gone when the weather and tide were at their best...
あまり天気がよくなかったのでそこまで感動は味わえなかった。寒かったくらいで・・・。天気と潮が一番引くタイミングでいけたら最高だったのだろう・・・。

Totally awesome ride...pros on the boat made the whole experience feel very safe & a lot of fun...would do it again & definitely recommend it to anyone who ever wanted to try parasailing...GO FOR IT!
I participated in the tour at Kualoa Ranch for the first time. Upon arrival, I was moved by the beauty of the mountains! Since I printed the voucher from Veltra, the check-in process went smoothly.
On the bus ride to the zipline starting point, we passed beautiful scenic spots and filming locations from Jurassic Park.
At the starting point, there are free lockers and restrooms, so it's a good idea to take care of that before putting on the harness. The tour was conducted entirely in English, and we were the only Japanese participants. The guides were all very friendly, making it easy to ask questions if anything was unclear.
You do walk a bit in the mountains after putting on the harness, which can be a little tiring, but it was enjoyable. There are a total of seven ziplines. It's not too scary, so as long as you're not afraid of heights, you'll be fine. It was very refreshing, the views were beautiful, and it was a great experience!
There was a shower along the way, but it was generally hot. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes, so long pants are recommended. Most of the other tour participants wore shorts, so shorts are also okay. There are water stations along the way, so you don't have to worry about getting thirsty.
I wanted to take photos with my iPhone, so I brought it along, but if you drop it, you definitely won't be able to retrieve it, so a case that you can hang around your neck is essential! Photos during the tour are taken with a provided camera and can be purchased at the end. Payment can be made in cash or via a registered email address.
The guides were all really kind and fun, making it a great tour! I was truly moved by the beautiful rainbow that appeared in the mountains along the way!
初めてクアロアランチのツアーに参加しました。
着いてまず山の美しさに感動しました！
ベルトラのバウチャーを印刷して行ったのでスムーズに受付を済ませることができました。
バスに乗ってジップラインのスタート地点まで移動する途中に、美しい景色の見える場所や、ジュラシックパークなどの撮影場所を通ります。
スタート地点には無料のロッカーとトイレがあるので、ハーネスを装着する前に済ませておくといいです。
ツアーは全て英語で日本人は私たちだけでした。
ガイドはみんなとても気さくなので、わからないことがあっても聞きやすいと思います。
ハーネスを装着して少し山の中を歩くので少し疲れますが、それも楽しかったです。
ジップラインは全部で7本。
そんなに怖くはないので、高所恐怖症でなければ大丈夫。
とても爽快で、景色も綺麗で、いい体験でした！
途中シャワーがありましたが、基本的には暑いです。
ただ、蚊がたくさんいるので長ズボンの方がオススメです。
他のツアー客はだいたい短パンだったので、短パンでも参加OKです。
途中給水ポイントもあるので、喉が渇いても心配ないです。
iPhoneで撮影したかったので持って行きましたが、もし落としたら絶対に拾えないので、首からぶら下げられるようなケースは必須です！
ツアー中の写真は備え付けのカメラで撮影され、最後に購入できます。
現金か登録したメールアドレスで決済できます。
ガイドさんがみなさん本当に優しくて楽しくて、いいツアーになりました！
途中山の中に架かった虹が本当に綺麗で感動しました！

The Friday night cruise food was very good and the dancers and live band were excellent. It was a fun filled evening with an opportunity to meet new friends from around the globe.
I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.
I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)
I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.
The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!
If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.
イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計３回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです！６匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。（船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます）
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい！
１つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが１個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念！１組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

In Japan, it seems that you can't really go horseback riding without a license, so I wanted to challenge myself in Hawaii and participated. I enjoyed canyon horseback riding at a place called Happy Trails. There are explanations in Japanese, and the instructor teaches you how to handle the horses in broken Japanese, so there's no need to worry about handling the horses. The horses are trained for polo and were surprisingly calm, which was very soothing.
When you think of Hawaii, the image of beaches is strong, but I enjoyed a different side of Hawaii's scenery.
As a note, the red dirt can get quite messy, so it's better to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
After horseback riding, we stopped by a beach with sea turtles, but overall, the schedule moved quickly, and the day ended in no time.
日本ではライセンスを取らないとなかなか乗馬はできないようなのでハワイでチャレンジしたいと思い参加しました。
Happy Trailsというところで渓谷乗馬を楽しんできました。
日本語の説明書きが書いてあるし、インストラクターの方がカタコトの日本語で馬の扱い方を教えてくれるので、馬の扱い方は心配ないです。馬もポロ用に訓練された馬で驚くほどおとなしく癒されました。
ハワイというとビーチのイメージが強いですが、また違うハワイの景色を堪能しました。
注意事項ですが、結構赤土で足元が汚れることがあるので汚れてもいい恰好で行ったほうがいいですね。
今回は乗馬の後海亀のいるビーチに寄りましたが全体的に乗馬以外は駆け足でスケジュールが進みあっという間に一日が終わってしまいました。

I participated with a friend. I wanted to see wild dolphins, and I was truly moved not only by the dolphins but also by encountering sea turtles. We offered songs and flowers from the boat, wishing for safety, and then headed straight into the sea. Since we had experience with diving and snorkeling in Japan, we didn't have any particular issues. During the first dive, we only caught a glimpse of the dolphins for a moment, but during the second dive, after moving to a different spot, we were able to see a sea turtle up close, and there were about 15 dolphins swimming in a pod! On the boat, we enjoyed freshly grilled burgers, got dolphin tattoos, and the cheerful crew even danced the hula, making for an incredibly fun time. They also provided free drinking water, which I thought was a great way to prepare for the surprisingly exhausting snorkeling that left us thirsty.
On the way back, the bus had a temporary breakdown and took about an hour to repair before we could set off again. However, thanks to the staff member Mai, who kept us entertained with conversation until we reached our hotel in Honolulu, we managed to get there without too much trouble. I was a bit scared that the bus might break down again along the way, but now it’s a good memory.
This tour became the highlight of my trip. While luck seems to play a part, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to meet wild dolphins!
友人と二人で参加しました。
野生のイルカを見たい！と思って参加しましたがイルカだけでなくウミガメにも出会えて本当に感動しました。
船上から安全を願って歌と花をささげ早速海へ。私たちはダイビングやシュノーケルを日本でやったことがあったので特に問題なかったです。1回目はほんの一瞬イルカが見えただけでしたが少し場所を移動した2回目はすぐ近くでウミガメを見ることができましたし、イルカも群れで15頭ほどいました♪船上ではその場で焼いたバーガーを食べたり、イルカのタトゥーを貼ってもらったり、そして愉快なクルーがフラを踊ってくれたりとテンション上がりまくりでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。自由に飲めるお水も置いてあり意外と体力を消耗し喉も渇くシュノーケルへの対策がなされていると思いました。
帰りのバスが一時故障し1時間ほど修理をし、再出発するというトラブルがありましたが、スタッフのマイさんがホノルルのホテルに着くまで話をして気を紛らわせて下さったお陰でなんとかホテルまで着きました。バスが途中でダメにならないかと怖い思いをしましたが、今となってはいい思い出です。
このツアーは今回の旅の中で一番の思い出になりました。運もあるようですが野生のイルカに会いたいは方にはオススメです‼︎

The morning plan was unfortunate due to the weather. The wind was strong, and the sandbar was only about knee-deep, making it quite cold. I wanted to see turtles, but for some reason, I encountered a manta ray instead. It was so cold that I gave up on diving into the sea. The weather improved in the afternoon...

When I arrived at the pickup time, the driver immediately noticed me, and we smoothly arrived at the location. The weather was nice, and two cheerful young men explained everything clearly in broken Japanese, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any problems. I bought photos and a DVD on the spot, and they took more pictures than I expected, which made me very satisfied. On the way back, we were in the same car, but the driver instructed a different drop-off point that ended up being the opposite of another group of Japanese tourists. Since I couldn't speak English, I was dropped off at the wrong place and had to walk back to the hotel in my wet swimsuit.
ピックアップの時間に行くとすぐドライバーさんが気付いてくれてすんなり現地へ到着
天気も良くノリの良いお兄さん2人がカタコトの日本語で分かりやすく説明してくれて何も問題なく楽しめました

Since there is no shuttle service for the tour, I rented a Harley with a rental bike the day before and set off from the local area. In a country where helmets are not required, I enjoyed the freedom with a bandana and sunglasses while heading to the ranch. I wish this could be included in the tour as well!
This morning, it was just the four of us in a private session, and most of the preparations for horseback riding were already done. The horses, saddled and ready, lined up to greet us. The staff, consisting of friendly cowboys and cowgirls, assisted us, and since they could speak a little Japanese, the process was smooth.
The horse assigned to me was named Cowboy, and all the horses were well-trained and adorable. The horseback riding was quite hands-off, so beginners might feel a bit confused without an experienced rider accompanying them. It's common knowledge that the handling of reins is the opposite of Japan, so if you understand that, you can ride fairly freely, which made it a lot of fun for us.
We rode for 90 minutes, climbing steep, unmarked slopes and traversing a varied ranch landscape. It was very satisfying. However, I wished we could have been taken to a spot with a better ocean view at the top of the mountain, which is the only reason I’m giving it four stars.
I plan to choose this place for horseback riding again next time, but I think I will negotiate before riding. It was a lot of fun.
送迎の無いツアーなので、前日よりレンタルバイクでハーレーを借り現地出発
ヘルメットの要らない国なので、バンダナサングラスで開放感満喫しながら牧場目指して

今日の午前中は自分達４人だけの貸切状態で、乗馬の支度は殆どおわっており

スタッフも笑顔が素敵なカーボウイとカウガールが対応してくれて、日本語も片言で喋れる人達なので手続きもスムーズでした。
自分のあてがわれた馬は名前はカウボーイ、どの馬もよく教育されていて可愛かった
乗馬はかなり放任型で、初心者は経験者同伴じゃないと少し戸惑うかも
日本と手綱の扱いが逆なのも海外乗馬は常識なので、分かっていれば逆に
ある程度は自由に乗せてくれるので、自分達は凄く楽しかったです。
道無き急斜面を上ったり、起伏に富んだ牧場を９０分かけての乗馬
のりごたえ満点です。
ただ、山の上でもう少しオーシャンビューなところに案内してもらいたかったかな
と、そこだけが残念で星４つです。
次回も乗馬はここに決定のつもりですが、乗る前に交渉してみようと思っています。
楽しかったです。

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.
The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.
The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.
Snorkeling at Angel's Sea's coral reef was amazing because I got to swim with a sea turtle. Before getting on the boat, it was raining and the weather was bad, but it cleared up before we boarded, which was great. Angel's Sea is really shallow and the water is beautiful. However, it was disappointing that there weren't many fish. It's a gentle course for beginners since you can practice snorkeling.
The next coral reef was deeper offshore, which might be a bit intimidating at first, but wearing a life jacket ensures you won't sink, so it's reassuring. Since the sun wasn't shining, it was hard to see the coral from the surface. Once you enter the coral reef, it gets shallower, which increases your sense of security, but be careful not to touch the bottom as it can cause environmental damage. The rule is to swim around the coral reef. There were plenty of fish, and I saw a sea turtle swimming as well, which was really nice. By chance, a sea turtle was right below me, and I was able to swim with it, which was the highlight of the experience.
天使の海のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングで、ウミガメと一緒に泳げたので、最高です。
ボートにに乗る前は、雨が降って天気が悪かったのですが、乗る前には天気も回復したので、良かったです。
天使の海は、本当に浅瀬で海はきれいです。ただ、魚がいないので残念でした。
シュノーケリングの練習もできるので、初心者には優しいコースです。
次のサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングは、、沖合で海底が深く、ちょっと慣れないとしり込みしますが、ライフジャケットを着ていたら、絶対に沈まないので安心です。
日が差していなかったので、サンゴの場所が海面からでは分かりずらかったのです。
サンゴ礁に入ったら、浅くなるので安心感が増すのですが、足を着いたら自然破壊になるので、要注意です。
サンゴ礁の周りを泳ぐのがルール。
魚も沢山いたし、ウミガメも泳いでいましたので、とても良かったです。
偶然に、ウミガメが真下にいて、一緒に泳ぐことができたので、最高でした。

My husband and I participated in the first morning session. I was a bit anxious about whether our reservation was confirmed, but we were picked up on time by a car with a big shark picture on it ( ˊᵕˋ ). It was tough getting up at 5:30 AM, though (laughs).
After about an hour's drive, we arrived and boarded the boat!!! The crew didn't speak any Japanese, so we read the instructions in Japanese. Even though they couldn't speak Japanese, they communicated well through gestures, so it wasn't a problem at all♪ On the way to the shark spot, they playfully startled us with shark dolls and checked to see if we were feeling okay; they were really nice people.
When we reached the spot, there were so many sharks on the surface!!! Since our turn was third, we watched the sharks swimming around. The journey to the spot was fine, but once the boat stopped, I started to feel a bit seasick (laughs). It seemed like everyone else felt the same way (laughs). We didn't get to the point of throwing up, but a few people did look like they were struggling (；▽；).
However, when it was our turn, our excitement took over, and the seasickness disappeared! The sharks we saw right in front of us were absolutely beautiful! They didn't bump into the cage, just swimming around it gracefully (*˘︶˘*). There were more than ten sharks♪ But some people inside the cage looked a bit seasick and unwell (；▽；). I wouldn't recommend this for those who are prone to motion sickness (；▽；).
But it was an incredibly valuable experience!!!
旦那と二人で朝イチの部で参加しました。
ちゃんと予約できてるか不安でしたが、時間通りにサメの絵が大きく載った車でお迎えにきてもらいました( ˊᵕˋ )朝5:30でさすがにつらかったですが(笑)
車で1時間ほどで到着し、船に乗って出発！！！
クルーのみなさんは全く日本語はしゃべれないので、日本語表記の注意書きを読みました。日本語はしゃべれないけど、ジェスチャーなどで伝わるのでぜんぜん問題ありませんでした♪サメがいるスポットまでの道のりもサメの人形で脅かしてきたり、具合悪くないかとか気にかけてくれてとても良い人たちでした。
ポイントについたら水面にたくさんのサメが！！！
私達夫婦の順番は３番目だったので、水面のサメを見たりしてました。
ポイントまでの道のりは全然平気でしたか、船が止まるとすこーしずつ酔ってきました(笑)みなさんそんな感じでした(笑)私たちは吐くまではなかったけど、何人かは吐いていてつらそうでした(；▽；)
でも自分たちの番になるとテンションが上がり、船酔いなんて吹っ飛びました！
目の前で見えるサメたちはとても美しかったです！檻にぶつかってくるなんて危険な事はなく、檻のまわりをぐるぐると泳いでる感じです(*˘︶˘*)10匹以上いました♪でも中には檻の中で波酔いして、具合悪そうな方もいました(；▽；)酔いやすいかたはオススメ出来ないですね(；▽；)
でもすごく貴重な体験が出来ました！！！
