We had a very large group of all ages and swim levels and everyone had such a great time! The crew was so nice and helpful. We would definitely go again.

We went as a family of three (with an 11-year-old child) and had a truly satisfying and precious time!

- Getting to the port by bus
After arriving, I felt a bit anxious about where to go, but it was fine as long as we followed the flow. A Japanese staff member provided explanations. It's a good idea to fill out a waiver beforehand. No need to print it; you can do it on your smartphone.

- On the way
We headed there while listening to Hawaiian live music, which really lifted our spirits. It felt very Hawaiian.

- Kayaking
First, we enjoyed kayaking together as a family of three. The child had a great time too!

- Stand-up paddleboarding
Standing up at first is a bit scary, but it's manageable.

- Snorkeling
I believe we will definitely see fish. We received fish food from the staff. It was the child's first snorkeling experience, and they enjoyed it without any issues!

I recommend bringing a GoPro. You can take pictures safely underwater, and the staff can take family photos for you, creating memories that you wouldn't normally capture!

One thing I regret is not knowing how to give tips. I wanted to give a tip to the staff who helped us during snorkeling, but I didn't see a place for it on the boat. There was a box for tips inside the boat, so I put it there. However, when we got off the boat, the staff were there to see us off. Was it proper etiquette to give tips there? I didn't have any ready in my hand, so I just shook hands and left. I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on the staff who took care of us! It was the best hospitality. If I have the chance, I will go again!

親子3人（子ども11歳）で行きました。大満足な貴重な時間が過ごせました！
・バスで港まで
到着後、どこに行けばよいかちょっと不安になりますが、流れに沿って行けば大丈夫でした。日本人スタッフの方が説明して頂きました。行く前に事前に誓約書みたいのを書いていくと良いです。印刷不要です。スマホで出来ます。
・行くまで
ハワイアンライブミュージックを聞きながら、テンションを上げながら向かいます。ハワイって感じでした。
・カヤック
まずは、カヤックは３人乗りで、親子３人で楽しみました。子供も楽しめます！
・スタンダップパドル
最初立つのは怖いですが、大丈夫です。
・シュノーケリング
魚は、間違いなく見れると思います。スタッフの方に魚のえさをもらえました。子供は初のシュノーケリングでしたが、全く問題なく楽しんでました！

GoProの持参をおすすめします。海の中でも安心して撮れますし、スタッフの方に家族の写真を撮ってもらえたりして、普段撮れない写真が撮れて、良い思い出になっています！

ちょっと悔いが残るのは、チップの渡し方がわかりませんでした。
シュノーケリングの時にお世話になったスタッフに渡したかったのですが、
ボート内に見たらなかったので、ボートの中にチップを入れる箱があった
ので、そこに入れました。でもボートを降りると、スタッフの方が
見送りでいてくれました。そこでチップを渡すのがマナーだったのでしょうか？
手にチップを用意しておらず・・そのまま、握手をして帰ることに・・。
お世話になったスタッフの方に嫌な思いをさせていたらすみません！
最高のおもてなしでした。
機会があれば、また行きます！

This time, since it was my first visit to Hawaii in a while, I booked a dinner cruise for the last day. We were guided to the fourth floor, which featured a gorgeous space and a spacious deck. You can immediately tell it’s a special setting. The sunset view across the sea from the window, combined with the magical beauty of the sunset, creates the perfect location. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but everything was delicious with delicate seasoning. By the time we reached the main course, I was usually quite full, and even if they served a steak with an overly marbled texture at that point, I could only manage a bite. However, the steak had a good balance of texture, which I personally rated highly. There was piano music, saxophone, and live jazz singing, creating an extraordinary atmosphere that matched the dress code. The captain greeted each guest, and the staff's attentive service was refined. Since I participated with my spouse, I imagined how wonderful it would be to spend this special time with all our children as well. I definitely want to participate again. T.K

I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first sunset cruise on the Honolulu. Perhaps because it was a weekday, all the middle seats were empty, and we were seated by the window with a view. The atmosphere was very nice, and the guests, wearing bright red dresses, added a touch of elegance to the space. The course meal included an appetizer of assorted cheeses, a salad (with lobster), a sorbet in between, thick-cut roast beef with truffle mashed potatoes, cheesecake, and coffee. Everything was truly delicious, and I could really feel the quality of 5A. With live performances, it was a dinner cruise that left me completely satisfied. S.K

今回は久しぶりのハワイという事で、最終日にディナークルーズを予約。
4階部分に案内され、ゴージャスな空間と、広めのデッキ。
特別な空間とすぐにわかります。
窓から見れる海を挟んでの夕景は、日の入り時の幻想的な美しさと合わさって、最高のロケーションに。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、繊細さを持つ味付けでどれも美味しい。
メイン料理に辿り着く頃、大抵満腹近くなり、そのタイミングで霜降り過ぎる肉質のステーキなど出されても到底一口しか食べれないが、バランスの良い肉質のステーキで、個人的には◎。
ピアノ演奏、サックス、ジャスの生歌があり、ドレスコードに合った演出に、非日常感があります。
キャプテンが一人一人に挨拶され、スタッフの方の丁寧なもてなしも洗練されたものがあります。
今回夫婦で参加したため、子供たちもみんな連れてこの特別な時間を過ごせたらと想像した程素晴らしい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
是非また参加したいです。
T.K

サンセットクルーズは何度か参加しましたが、
ホノルル号でのサンセットクルーズははじめてでした。
平日という事もあってか、真ん中の席は全て空いていて、景色が見える窓際に案内されました。
雰囲気もとても良く、来てるお客さまも真っ赤なドレスなど一流の雰囲気を醸し出され、空間に華を添えています。
コース料理も前菜チーズ盛合わせ、サラダ（ロブスター付き）、一度シャーベットを挟み、
厚切りローストビーフにトリュフ入りマッシュポテト、チーズケーキとコーヒーでした。
どれも本当に美味しくて流石5Aだなと感じました。
生演奏ライブもあって大満足のディナークルーズでした。

Everyone was great! The staff and the horses. The trip totally made my day. The weather was great and trail was interesting. Good times. Thank you to Tori who was our trail guide. She seemed to know exactly what the horses needed and when

I was a bit anxious about the unfamiliar activities abroad, but the bus guidance on the day was clear, and there were Japanese staff on-site, which made me feel at ease.

I was able to go horseback riding for two hours in the great outdoors, which was also a filming location for Jurassic Park, and it was incredibly relaxing. I definitely want to go again!

慣れない海外でのアクティビティで少し不安でしたが、当日のバスの案内などもわかりやすく、現地では日本人スタッフの方もいて、安心でした。

ジュラシックパークのロケ地にもなった大自然の中で、2時間も乗馬ができて、最高に癒されました。またぜひ行きたいです！

The activity itself was so much fun, and I was very satisfied! Driving was enjoyable, and the bumpy roads, puddles, and hills were all a blast!

My body, face, and hair ended up covered in dust!

I brought a raincoat based on reviews, but it was too hot to wear. I recommend bringing a complete change of clothes, plenty of wet wipes, and disposable plastic bags to cover your belongings!

My face was covered in sand, even my eyelashes, so if you're concerned about that, it's a good idea to bring makeup remover and cosmetics or plan a schedule where you can return to the hotel right away.

We left early in the morning for the activity and had a tour that ended around 2 PM, but I spent too much time getting ready for the return trip and had to skip lunch. I went straight back to the hotel and reset everything, haha!

アクティビティ自体は楽しすぎて大満足でした！運転自体が楽しいし、ガタガタする道や水たまり、坂など…とても楽しかったです！

体、顔、髪すべてが砂埃だらけになります！

口コミを見てレインコートを持参しましたが暑すぎて着ていられず。
おすすめは、全身の着替え・たくさんのウェットティッシュ・荷物を覆うための使い捨てビニール袋を持参することです！

顔はまつげまで砂まみれになるので、気になる方はメイク落としと化粧品を持参またはすぐホテルに帰れるスケジュールにするといいです。

朝早くに出てすぐアクティビティ、14時頃解散のツアーでしたが、帰りの身支度に時間を取られて昼食は断念、すぐホテルに帰ってオールリセットしました笑

I have a slight fear of heights, but I participated. The wind was strong and it was scary, but the fun outweighed the fear. Motion sickness medication was a must.

少し高所恐怖症ですが、参加しました。
風が強くて怖かったけど楽しさのほうが勝ちました。
酔い止め必須でした。

The event began on time with a glass of champagne. I must admit that the food was better than expected. The staff waited to serve each course until we were at the table, as we often went out to take air between courses and take pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short dinner cruise with romantic/relaxing ambiance.

The crew was awesome and very kind. They treated us like family and still gave us privacy to enjoy our trip to the Sandbar. I cannot say enough good things about the time we had. Great food, relaxing, adventurous, and fun.

We had a great experience. The staff were exceptional. We highly recommend this activity!

Great adventure for family or friends. The crews are friendly and helpful. They assist when loading the boat and while traveling to and from the sailing area. The office lady is kind and helpful.

It was truly one of my favorite things this trip. The crew were so nice and pleasant. The weather was a bit windy and the sandbar wasn’t fully out even with all that the experience was one of my favorites.
The crew helped you out throughout the whole experience. One of the guides even helped me with my snorkel experience and guided me. It was one of my favorite things to do and would recommend this activity to anyone I know. Thank you to all the wonderful crew, I am sorry that I can’t remember all the names. And thank you to my guide that helped me with the snorkel experience you have no idea how grateful I am. Overall, one of the top activities to do.

Nova Five Star package should be renamed to, 'Ten Star.' The reason being this package was over the top elegant, professional, and accommodating. Each table had their own charcuterie board, which was perfect snack to get the evening started.

The meal was served in an order that was so unique. I had never had sorbet in the middle of a meal, and I'm still dreaming of the texture and flavor. The presentation/ quality of food was very impressive. Each course amazed me more and more!

The music throughout the meal was so relaxing, and set the mood for a delightful evening. If you are looking for an intimate evening with your loved one, this is the package for you!

Mahalo to SOH for going the extra mile to create a magical space!

We did the dinner cruise with the Nova Five Star on the 4th deck of the boat and it was a treat and we really had a great time. Their table set up at the Super Nova Room was so beautiful, clean, so organized, and elegant! We had our own private table seating next to the window and we enjoyed the night view even without having to explore the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dinner. The steak was exceptionally tender, and the fresh fruit sorbet was our favorite. The servers provided excellent service as well, and the entertainment complemented the rainy weather, creating a more relaxing atmosphere.

Anyone looking for a romantic celebration on Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or any special occasion, the NOVA Five Star aboard the Star of Honolulu is an ideal choice.

For those seeking for a smaller crowd and more privacy, I would recommend booking the Nova Five Star cruise on Thursdays as it is not as busy as on the weekends.

I participated in the Heaven's Sea sandbar and snorkeling tour, which included a barbecue lunch.

In the end, I had the amazing experience of seeing a honu (sea turtle) right in front of me and swimming together for a while, but the cold before and after was beyond what I had imagined.

The wind was strong, it was cloudy, and there were no elements to warm us up at all, so older participants either didn't get in from the start or gave up early.

I borrowed two large towels from the hotel and brought a down jacket, which was just about right. There were some people who seemed completely fine, so there is a personal difference.

If it hadn't been cold, it would have been an incredibly fun activity. The staff taking care of us were very pleasant, and I'm glad I chose this tour.

I was expecting a bit better for lunch, but it was still quite delicious.

For the barbecue, we had grilled meat patties sandwiched in hamburger buns, with cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onion inside. There were also boiled beans, fruit, and chips.

They provided warm drinks as well, and I was impressed by how the small number of staff managed to serve such a large group.

天国の海　サンドバーとシュノーケリング、バーベキューランチ付きに参加しました。

結果的にはホヌに目の前で会えて、しばらく一緒に泳げるという、最高の体験が出来ましたが、その前後の寒さは、想像以上でした。

風が強く、曇りでもあり、全く暖かくなる要素がないままだったので、年配の方は最初から入らないか、早々にギブアップ。

大きめのタオル2枚、ホテルから借りて持っていき、ダウンも持って行って、ちょうどくらいでした。
中には全然平気な方もいらっしゃったので、個人差がありますね。

寒くなければ最高に楽しいアクティビティでした。お世話をしてくださる方々もとても感じ良くて、こちらを選んで良かったです。
ランチは、もう少し良いものを期待していましたが、十分美味しかったです。

バーベキューグリルで、焼いたお肉のパテをハンバーガーのバンズではさみ、中にはチーズ、トマト、レタス、オニオン。
あとは煮豆と果物、チップスでした。

温かい飲み物も、提供があるし、あれだけ沢山の人数を少数スタッフでさばけているのがすごかったかな。

It was a very windy day, so it was really shaky and scary, but I had a lot of fun. The view was amazing. I'm not good with drops on roller coasters, but this one was fine for me. The boat also swayed, so motion sickness medication was essential. We were fine because we had drinks, but about four other people on the boat seemed to be struggling with motion sickness. Since it sways in the air as well, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

風が強い日だったので、すごく揺れて怖かったけど、とても楽しかったです。
景色、最高でした。
ジェットコースターなどの落ちるところが苦手ですが、これは大丈夫でした。
船も揺れるし、酔い止めは必須でした。
私たちは飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、同船していた他の方は4人くらい酔っていて辛そうでした。
上空でも揺れるので酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。

The navigation system didn't pinpoint the location very well, and we searched quite a bit in the vicinity, but it was along the road, and we finally arrived. It's better to head there with a little extra time.

On the day of our visit, we ended up with a couple of foreigners, but there was one staff member accompanying each group, and my wife and I changed our departure time to go for a walk just the two of us.

We received a simple explanation in English on how to handle and ride the horses, and then we set off for the ride. We progressed slowly through the spacious grounds and also walked along the sandy beach by the coast. It was a relaxing horseback riding experience with great views.

ナビではなかなかピンポイントで到着せず、付近をかなり探しましたが、道路沿いにあり、何とか到着。少し余裕をもって向かった方が良いです。

当日は外人さんのカップルと一緒になりましたが、各グループに1人のスタッフが同行して、出発時間を変えて妻と私だけで散歩に出発。

簡単な馬の扱い方と乗り方を英語で説明して乗馬出発。
広々とした敷地内をゆっくりと進み、海岸沿いの砂浜も散歩。
のんびりと眺めの良い乗馬体験でした。

It took about 40 minutes by bus from the hotel in Waikiki to arrive!

We received an overall explanation at the information center around 10 AM and then dispersed. There was a Japanese staff member who explained everything in Japanese!!

We had free time until the buggy ride. I strolled through the souvenir shop and spent time interacting with the horses!

We checked in for the buggy ride at 10:30 and set off!! The staff attending us spoke only English (there was a Japanese video for the initial safety instructions). There were parts of the explanation during the ride that I didn't understand, but the staff member was cheerful and friendly, and we had an amazing time for two hours!!! Getting caught in a downpour along the way was also a good memory!

Knowing I would get dirty, I participated in clothes I didn't mind throwing away. I was in the last buggy, but since it had just rained, there wasn't much dust, and I didn't get as dirty as I expected!! They provide helmets and goggles, so when it's sunny, you might want something to protect your nose and mouth...

【Essentials】
Change of clothes, wet wipes. It was cold in February, so having a long-sleeved cover-up might be good!!

Afterward, we had quite a bit of time until the 3:30 bus! I wish I had participated in another activity...

Lunch is available for purchase on-site! I had the garlic shrimp plate, and it was delicious!!

I want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii! Mahalo!

ワイキキのホテルからバスで40分くらいで到着！

10時前くらいからインフォメーションで全体的な説明を受けて解散。日本人スタッフがいるので日本語で説明してくれました！！

バギーの時間まで自由時間。
お土産売り場を散策して馬と触れ合い時間潰し！

10:30バギーの受付をしていざ出発！！
アテンドしてくれるスタッフは英語only
(最初の注意事項説明は日本語ビデオあり)
バギー中の説明は分からないところもありましたが、アテンドしてくれたスタッフが明るく気さくな方で2時間めちゃめちゃ楽しめました！！！
途中スコールをくらったのも良い思い出！

汚れると知っていたので捨ててもいい服で参加
1番後ろのバギーでしたが雨上がりで砂埃もあまりなく、思ったほど汚れずに済みました！！
ヘルメットとゴーグルは貸してくれるので
晴れてる時は鼻、口を守るものは必要かと…

【必需品】
着替え、ウェットティッシュ
2月で寒かったので、長袖の羽織ものあると良いかも！！

終わってからは15:30のバスまで時間があまり過ぎました！他のアクティビティに参加すれば良かったなと…

ランチは現地で購入可能！
ガーリックシュリンププレートを食べましたが美味しかったです！！

また次ハワイ来た時も参加したいです！
マハロ！

I participated in the Sandbar Angel's Sea snorkeling and sea turtle watching cruise. The atmosphere was nice and it was fun, but when I entered the water for snorkeling, the water temperature was low and "it was cold."

Snorkeling was enjoyable, but I recommend preparing for the cold after getting back on the boat. Our family of three participated, and we all changed in the restroom and wrapped ourselves in thick towels we brought from the hotel.

Even though it's a tropical climate, it felt like winter? Since the water temperature is low, I recommend taking precautions. I was glad I had read experiences beforehand.

The weather was nice, so I thought it was still bearable, but I believe cold weather precautions are necessary when it's cloudy, rainy, or windy.

サンドバー　天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズに参加しました。雰囲気も良く、楽しかったのですが、シュノーケリングで海に入ったのですが、水温が低く「冷たかった」です。
シュノーケリングも楽しかったのですが、船に上がってからの寒さ対策をお勧めします。我が家は３人で参加しましたが、トイレで全員着替えて、ホテルから持参した厚いバスタオルにくるまっていました。
常夏といえど、やはり冬？なのか。水温が低いので対策をお勧めします。
事前に体験談を見て行っていたので、良かったです。
天気が良かったので、これでもまだマシだと思いましたから、天気が曇りだとか雨、風が強い等の時は、寒さ対策が必要だと思いました。

We participated in the tour as a family of three. Initially, we had booked for noon, but we received a recommendation from One Ocean to change it to 8 AM. There was no pick-up service, so we met at the location. The parking space at the harbor is spacious, so I don't think there will be any worries about parking. We met with the tour guide at the harbor, filled out a waiver, and boarded the boat. On the way to the shark point, there was an explanation of safety precautions regarding sharks, and we arrived at the point in about 30 minutes.

When my child shouted, "Shark!", I looked into the water and saw many sharks! It was a bit scary, but I trusted the explanation that there have been no accidents in the past 20 years and entered the water. The sharks were very calm, swimming gracefully, and they were beautiful. My impression of sharks has completely changed.

I wanted to see a tiger shark, but I was told that it wasn't the right season. However, we were able to see a whale, which is rarer than a tiger shark! It was a tour that left my child very satisfied. I would love to participate again. Additionally, for an extra fee of about $70, you can purchase a Go-Pro video. I would definitely like to join again!

家族3名でツアーに参加しました。最初に予約した時は昼12時で予約していましたが、ワンオーシャンから朝一がお勧めだと連絡があり、8時に変更しました。送迎はなく、現地集合です。ハーバーの駐車場スペースは広く、駐車場の心配はいらないと思います。ハーバーでツアーの方と待ち合わせして、誓約書を記入して、船に乗り込みます。サメのポイントへ向かう間に、サメの注意事項などの説明があり、30分ほどでポイントに到着です。
子供が「サメだ！」と叫んだので、海を覗くと、たくさんのサメがいます！
少し怖かったのですが、過去20年間、事故はないと言う説明を信じて、海へ入りました。
サメはとても落ち着いていて、泳ぎも優雅で、とても美しかったです。全くサメの印象は変わりました。
タイガーシャークを見たかったのですが、時期的に見れないとの事。しかし、タイガーシャークより希少なクジラを見る事ができました！
子供も大満足なツアーでした。また、参加したいと思います。また、追加料金70ドルほどで、Go-Proの動画を買う事もできます。また参加したいと思います！

I participated in the event in the morning at the end of January. This year's Honolulu felt cold, with many rainy days. After arriving on site, I got into the ocean just after 9 AM, but the seawater was cold, and due to the cloudy sky, I got back on the boat after about 20 minutes. The ocean was beautiful, and there were fish swimming, so I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been warmer. I believe participating in the afternoon during the winter would have allowed for a warmer experience.

1月末の午前中のに参加しました。今年のホノルルは寒く、雨の日も多い感じでした
現地に着いて、9時過ぎから海に入りましたが、海水も冷たく、曇り空のため、20分位で船に上がってしまいました。
海は綺麗で、魚も泳いでいて、もっと暖かだったら楽しめたと思います
冬の時期は午後からの参加の方が暖かく過ごせたと思います

I participated in a movie location tour (meeting and ending on-site) in the morning and a zipline tour with seven lines (also meeting and ending on-site) in the afternoon. Both tours had the same check-in location, so I was able to complete the check-in for both with just one visit.

On the way to the zipline location, we took the same route as the location tour by bus, but there were no stops for photo opportunities. All three guides spoke English, so there were times when I didn't understand what they were saying, but all seven ziplines were a lot of fun! It was a great memory to experience seven consecutive ziplines in the magnificent nature, something that is hard to do in Japan!

午前中に映画ロケ地ツアー(現地集合解散)、午後にジップライン7本ツアー(現地集合現地解散)に参加しました。
どちらのツアーも受付が同じ場所なので、1度のチェックインで両方とも受付完了出来ました。
ジップラインの場所に行くまでは、ロケ地ツアーと途中まで同じルートをバスで通りますが、停まって写真撮影とかはありませんでした。
ガイドさん3人とも全て英語なので何を言ってるか分からない事もありましたが、7本のジップラインはどれも楽しかったです！日本では中々出来ない7本連続と、雄大な自然の中で出来たのは良い思い出になりました！

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 2019 and was impressed by its beauty and the abundance of fish. However, since then, tours have been discontinued and reservations are now required for entry, making it difficult to visit on my own. This time, I participated in a tour. Although the morning is early, I think it's nice because there are fewer crowds. Even if you're not good at English, as long as you ask about the meeting place and time for the return, there shouldn't be any problems. I was worried about strong winds the day before, but I was lucky that the weather was good on the day of the tour.

2019年に初めてハナウマ湾に行き、美しさとたくさんの魚を観ることが出来、感動しましたが、その後ツアーが無くなったり、入場予約が必要になったりで個人で行くのも難しく、今回、このツアーに参加しました。朝は早いですが混雑が少なくていいと思います。英語が不得手でも帰りの集合場所と時間さえ聞いておけば問題ないです。前日まで風が強く心配でしたが当日は天気良くラッキーでした。

I participated last month. I was very satisfied to see many sea turtles swimming in the very blue ocean. The guide was Japanese and explained everything in Japanese for the Japanese tourists, which was reassuring. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii.

先月参加させていただきました。
とても青い海に泳いでいるウミガメもたくさん見れて大満足です。
ガイドの方も日本人で、日本の観光客には全て日本語で説明してくれるので安心です。
またハワイに行く機会があったら参加したいです。

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we stayed for a week with my family (my husband, our 10-year-old daughter, and me). We also participated in a dolphin tour for the first time.

The meeting time was early at 5:30 AM in front of our hotel, but it was manageable if we went to bed early the night before.

I was worried about the weather since it had been changing from rain to sunshine up until the day before, but fortunately, it cleared up, and we were able to set sail.

I tend to get motion sickness and took medication, but I ended up getting sick five times. A few others on the tour also experienced this. I regretted not taking the medication earlier, but I suppose it couldn't be helped.

At the beginning, as we set sail, we all participated in a traditional Hawaiian prayer in Hawaiian, asking for safety on our journey and to encounter dolphins, while throwing plumeria flowers into the sea. At that moment, the sun broke through the cloudy sky, and it felt like we had received permission, creating a magical atmosphere!

A wetsuit is a must! I recommend purchasing one as an option.

When we spotted dolphins, I was feeling unwell and stayed on the boat, but my husband and daughter put on their snorkels and entered the water. Since it was her first time using goggles, our daughter panicked at one point, but a female guide who spoke Japanese and had a license supported her. Although they couldn't swim close to the dolphins on their first try, I could see them from the boat despite feeling sick. My husband said it was his first experience in waters 1,000 meters deep, and although it was scary, he had a lot of fun!

After that, we encountered various marine creatures! We saw a whale spouting water, dolphins, and a baby hammerhead shark...

The tour guide informed us about the creatures we encountered:

- False killer whale
- Spotted dolphin
- Hammerhead shark
- Green sea turtle
- Humpback whale (spouting in the distance)

Afterward, we had a great time snorkeling and playing on the slide in an area with calmer waves.

I would love to participate again for a rematch. Thank you very much!

Even though I felt sick, I was truly able to encounter many marine creatures in the magnificent nature of Oahu, and the staff provided a lot of support. Having a Japanese-speaking guide was really helpful. I am grateful for that.

今回　初めてのハワイで家族（私、主人、娘10歳）1週間滞在。イルカツアーも初めて参加しました。

朝　宿泊ホテル前に集合時間5時半と早いのですが、前日早く寝てれば大丈夫です。

前日まで雨降ったり晴れたりコロコロと天気が変わって心配しましたが、無事晴れて出航できました。

私は乗り物酔いしやすく薬を飲みましたが、リバース5回もしました。他の方も何人かいました。早めに飲み薬を飲めば良かったかな？と後悔しましたが、仕方ない事だと思います。

最初、出航し皆んなで海と自然、旅の安全、イルカに出会えるようにお願いする気持ちで、ハワイの伝統的なお祈りの儀式をハワイ語で言い
プルメリアの花を海に投げました。
そしたら、曇ってた空から太陽が当たって許可された様な気分になり幻想的な空間でした！！

ウエットスーツは必須です！！オプションで購入した方がおすすめです。

イルカを発見し
私は気持ち悪く船の中にいましたが、
主人と娘は、シュノーケルをつけて海に入りました。娘はゴーグルが初めてだった為途中　パニックになってましたが、日本語ガイドしてくれた女性がライセンスを持っていて娘をサポートしてくれました。1回目はイルカの近くで泳げませんでしたが、
私は気持ち悪いけど、船の上からは、イルカが見えました。主人は水深1,000メートルの沖合なんて初めての経験で怖かったけど本当に楽しかった！！と言っておりました。

その後、色々な海洋生物に出会えました！！クジラが潮を吹いてたりイルカ、子供のハンマーヘッドシャーク…

ツアーの方から教えていただいた
出会った生き物：

コビレゴンドウ

マダライルカ

ハンマーヘッドシャーク

アオウミガメ

ザトウクジラ（遠くに潮吹き）

そのあと波の少ない場所でシュノーケルとスライダーでたくさん遊べました。

またリベンジで参加したいと思っております。
ありがとうございました！！

気持ち悪くても本当にオアフ島の雄大な自然の中で沢山の海洋生物と遭遇することが出来、スタッフの方々も色々とサポートしてくれました。日本語ガイドの方もいて本当に助かりました。感謝しております。

Touring Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch was awesome! It was a great combination of Hawaiian history, Nature information, and Movie set information. The tour guides were professional, and pleasant, making the tour enjoyable. I recommend renting the ATVs because it's fun driving the trails around the ranch.
The best part was a sudden downpour while driving and we kept going on the tour.
My advice is to book your tour when you make your travel arrangements to Honolulu as this tour sells out all the time.

This is a great tour for all ages!!

This time, the scheduled date and time were canceled due to bad weather, so we quickly changed it to the next morning. I had originally booked for lunchtime, hoping to see the beautiful ocean, but in the morning, the sun hadn't come out yet, and the sea looked a grayish blue. When I looked straight down, it was incredibly high and really scary! (150m)

I tackled it with my 5-year-old and my 6th grader in between us, and it seemed the kids had fun and wanted to do it again. Later, my parents, who are over 70, also tried it, and they said it wasn't as scary as I made it out to be. I'm sure it would be enjoyable if you don't look straight down.

Considering the price, the duration was long, and I thought it was very cost-effective.

今回、予定していた日時が天候不良で中止になり、急遽、翌日の朝イチに変更しました。もともとお昼の時間帯を予約していたので、海のキレイさが見られることを期待していましたが、朝イチはまだ日も射しておらず、海がグレーのようなブルーでした。なので、真下を見てみると、すっごく高くてめちゃくちゃ怖かったです！（１５０ｍ）
５歳の子どもと小６の子どもに挟まれて、３人で挑みましたが、子どもたちは楽しかったようで、またしたいと言っていました。
その後、７０を超えた両親も挑みましたが、私が騒ぐほど怖くなかったと言っていました。真下を見なければ、きっと楽しいと思います。
値段の割に時間も長く、とてもコスパは良いと思いました。

I arrived earlier than my reserved time, but after checking in, I went straight into preparation, and before I knew it, the activity had started. The explanation was only in English, so if you don't understand English, you need to speak up; otherwise, it seemed like they would just leave without you. I was worried it might be dangerous, so I didn't let my child have a phone, but it seemed they had set aside time for photos in beautiful scenery at various points, so it would have been better to let them have it. There was an area where you could drive freely, and it seemed both adults and children (6th graders) found it fun, even though kids might fall over. While we were waiting, they also gave us juice and Honolulu cookies. It was a really scenic spot, and even while waiting, I was wandering around taking photos. It lasted about an hour, and I think it was very cost-effective. The staff were also very kind, and I was extremely satisfied.

予約時間より早く着きましたが、受付をすませたらそのまま準備に入り、気づいたらアクティビティが開始しました。
説明は英語のみなので、英語がわからなかったらアピールしないと、そのまま出発しそうな勢いでした。
危ないかな？と携帯を持たせなかったのですが、要所要所に素敵な風景の中、撮影時間をもうけていたようで、持たせた方がよかったです。
途中、自由に運転していいエリアがあり、子どもだと転んだりするので、そこが大人も子ども（小６）も面白かったようです。
待っているこちらにも、ジュースやホノルルクッキーをくれました。
すごく景色のよいところで、待っている間も、うろうろして撮影していました。だいたい１時間くらいあり、非常にコスパもよいと思います。
スタッフの方も非常に優しくて大満足でした。

We participated as a family of five. Our 8-year-old initially struggled as the horse was eating grass and not listening, but with the help of the guide, they quickly got used to it. It was a lot of fun and became the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.

家族5人で参加しました。
8歳の子は、最初は馬が草を食べたりして言うことを聞かず苦労していましたが、ガイドの方に手伝って頂き、すぐ慣れました。
とても楽しく、ハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

I participated in parasailing for the first time. The operation was handled by two English-speaking guys. Both of them were in a great mood, which really lifted my spirits. The parasailing was very stable in the air, and I was able to relax. I didn't get too wet during the landing, which was nice. The photo shoot cost $40, and I paid for it on-site.

はじめてパラセイリングに参加しました。
オペレーションされるのは英語話者のお兄さん二人でした。お二人ともご機嫌でこちらまでテンションが上がりました。
パラセイリングは上空ではとても安定しており、のんびりすることができました。着水時もあんまりぬれず、よかったです。
写真撮影は$40でした。現地にて支払いました。
