Unexpected heavy rain. 想定外の大雨

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き♪

My daughter (6 years old) was super excited to ride a four-wheeler for the first time. We were caught in an unexpected downpour halfway through, but the thrill of splashing through the puddles was amazing, making it a unique experience. She also said she had a great time and was very satisfied!

初めて乗る四輪バギーに大興奮の娘（6歳）。
途中から想定外の大雨に見舞われましたが、それはそれで水溜まりを跳ね上げる迫力がすごくて、なかなか出来ない体験になりました。
娘も、楽しかったー！！と大満足でした。

We participated as a family with our 6-year-old daughter. Seeing the dolphins swim and jump according to the trainer's commands right in front of us was incredibly exciting for her. We also had the opportunity to touch the dolphins, which was a very valuable experience. The photo with the dolphins captured the best smiles!

It was a very fun atmosphere! It was a bit cold, and we ended up leaving early, but they gave us warm cocoa and poured hot water on us, which helped ease the chill a bit! We also got to see sea turtles and manta rays! It was enjoyable to see small fish up close too! It turned out to be a great honeymoon! Thank you!

マノア滝ハイキングツアー　大自然がもたらすエネルギーを全身で感じよう！＜日本語ガイド／オーガニックランチ付き＞

It was a tour where I could fully enjoy the great outdoors! 大自然を満喫出来るツアーでした！

Reviewed by: Moana

The path to Manoa Falls had a slope, but our guide Anoi took breaks at just the right times, and at the photo spots, he helped us take artistic pictures, making it a very satisfying tour. I had a great time. The sandwich we had at Tantalus was also delicious, and I think it was a very good value tour. I would like to participate in a different activity next time. However, I gave it 4 stars because the bracelet I bought from the tour company broke the next day. I was very disappointed because I liked the design.

マノアの滝に向かう道は勾配があったけど、ガイドのアノイさんが適度に休憩してくれて、フォトスポットでは芸術的な写真を撮ってくれて大満足のツアーでした。とても楽しめました。またタンタラスで食べたサンドイッチも美味しくてとてもお得なツアーだと思います。次回はこちらの違うアクティビティに参加したいと思いました。
ただ、ツアー前にツアー会社で買ったブレスレットが翌日壊れてしまったので⭐︎4つにしました。気に入ったデザインだったのでとても残念です。

Let's join this tour with an open mind, haha!

First, the staff arrived about 20 minutes late from the meeting time! Well, since the other participants didn't complain, I'll take it as a good sign.

Also, once we got on the boat, there was a long explanation, but it was all in English! (By the way, the email we received right before also came in English, so I used a translation app to understand the content.)

Anyway, after listening to the explanation, we dove in! We saw so many turtles, it was amazing!

On the way back, we even encountered dolphins. It would have been perfect if I understood English, but I still had a great time!

このツアーはおおらかな気持ちで参加しましょう笑
まず、集合時間から20分ぐらい遅れでスタッフさん登場！まぁ他の参加者の方も文句は言ってなかったので良しとします

The female instructor was friendly and supportive, making the tour very enjoyable. At several points, we were able to take photos, and we took breaks to avoid getting tired, which was reassuring. By pedaling and moving around myself, I was able to truly appreciate the vastness of Kualoa. Along the way, we also visited a tunnel where panels introduced the movies filmed at Kualoa. We even took videos using a jeep that resembled something out of Jurassic Park, which became a wonderful memory. I participated in an ATV tour in the past, and I had a great time again this time.

インストラクターの女性が気さくで優しくフォローしてくれたので、とても楽しいツアーになりました。いくつかのポイントで写真を撮って頂いたり､疲れない様に休憩も取りながら走るので安心です。自分で漕いで動き回ったのでクアロアの広さを改めて実感できました。途中、クアロアで撮影が行われた映画ごとにパネルで紹介されているトンネル？のようなところも見学できました。そこに置いてあるジープを使ってジュラシックパークさながらの動画も撮って頂き、とても思い出になりました。過去にATVツアーに参加しましたが今回もとても楽しめました。

クアロア・ランチ　乗馬体験(2時間)　映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫！＜送迎付きプランあり＞

Horseback riding in a wonderful landscape. 素晴らしい景色中で乗馬

Reviewed by: miro

I participated in December. I didn't have high expectations, but horseback riding in the wonderful scenery where you can see both the sea and the mountains was a valuable experience. It was very exciting to ride up the mountain slopes. I was almost a beginner at horseback riding, but I was able to ride for two hours without any issues.

There are various movie filming locations along the course, so I think movie lovers will enjoy it even more.

Although I participated in December, the weather was nice, and it was quite hot for the two hours. I recommend applying sunscreen if you decide to participate. Also, the person accompanying us during the horseback riding was not Japanese, so all the explanations about the filming locations were in English. Since you are on the horse for two hours, if you're not used to it, your butt and thighs might get sore!

12月に参加しました。
あまり期待していませんでしたが、海も山も見える素晴らしい景色の中での乗馬は貴重な体験でした。馬に乗って山の斜面を登っていくのでとてもエキサイティングでした。
乗馬はほぼ初心者でしたが、2時間問題なく乗馬できました。
コースの途中に様々な映画のロケ地があるので、映画好きの方ならなお楽しめると思います。

12月の参加でしたが天気が良く、2時間なのでとても暑かったです。参加される場合は日焼け止めを塗るのをおすすめします。
また、乗馬で付き添ってくださる方は日本人ではないので、ロケ地の説明はすべて英語でした。
それから2時間ずっと馬の上なので慣れてないとお尻や股が痛くなります笑

Three days before the Honolulu Marathon, I was wondering if a two-hour horseback riding course would be too much. However, thanks to the very smart horses that knew the entire route and guided us expertly, I had a great time without feeling tired at all.

For a full two hours, we rode through the forest, enjoyed views of the ocean, and saw all the filming locations from Jurassic Park in the grassy valleys of the mountains.

There was plenty of time before and after, so we were able to do some shopping and enjoy a delicious lunch. It was a lot of food, so sharing between the two of us was more than enough.

Lockers are available for $5 a day, the restrooms are clean, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The staff is very friendly, and there was even a briefing in Japanese beforehand.

ホノルルマラソン3日前に、乗馬2時間コースは無謀かな？と思っていましたが、とてもお利口な馬が全てルートもわかっていて、上手に案内してくれたおかげで全く疲れる事なく本当に楽しめました。
2時間たっぷり、森を抜けて、海を眺め、山の谷間の草むらからジェラシックパークのロケ場所まで全て見る事ができましたよ。

Reviewed by: ma

I found this tour when I was thinking about going to Haleiwa to eat garlic shrimp. I had also wanted to try horseback riding for a while, and riding by the beach sounded wonderful, so I signed up.

Kaz, our Japanese guide, cheerfully talked to us during the drive and introduced the scenery we saw from the car window. The other members of the tour were all nice people, and when they heard it was our honeymoon, they applauded. The horse I rode was a bit mischievous and kept moving forward, which was scary at first, but I got used to it and had a great time. There were two instructors who closely watched over us, which made me feel safe. They also took a lot of pictures along the way!

After returning to Haleiwa, we went to the garlic shrimp food truck recommended by Kaz. Thanks to him making a phone call, we were able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp without having to wait. This gave us extra time to visit Matsumoto Shave Ice and enjoy some shops. On the way back, instead of just dropping us off at the meeting point, they took us close to our hotel. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

I was suddenly canceled on, and when I inquired, I couldn't get in touch, so I went directly to the location, but there was no staff present.

After that, I was asked via email whether I wanted a refund or to change to another day, and when I chose to change to the next day, it was canceled again. I had changed into my swimsuit and arrived on time, but after being kept waiting, I was told that the engine was having issues. I was really looking forward to parasailing on that day, which was my last day, and I am filled with disappointment. I want my time back. I will not be making a reservation here again.

突然キャンセルされ、問い合わせましたが連絡がつかなかったので直接現地に行ったところスタッフが誰もいませんでした。(他にもちらほら同じ理由で待機しているであろう方々がいました)

I received a cancellation notice because the Japanese tour didn't meet the minimum number of participants, but I joined in with an English guide and it was quite fun! I laughed a lot.

The guide talked non-stop like a radio DJ, but I got used to it surprisingly well. Since I'm in a foreign country, this is also acceptable! He spoke to us in slow English, which was nice.

It was raining at Manoa Falls, but the weather was actually quite nice for feeling the essence of Hawaii. The greenery was more vibrant, and the sound of the waterfall was very refreshing.

The ocean is great, but the mountains are nice too.

P.S. I actually participated in a trial tour with Lucky Man, the owner of this tour, four years ago. It's a shame that it seems to no longer exist, but I really enjoyed having a guide who wasn't just focused on tourism. I had hoped to see him again, but it's unfortunate.

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

Overall, I’m glad I participated. 総合的には参加してよかった

Reviewed by: 梅昆布茶

I was very grateful for the detailed explanations and precautions provided by the Japanese guide for activities that could be life-threatening if one missteps, such as being in the ocean. However, I was strictly lectured about the cultural differences between Hawaii (America) and Japan, mainly regarding the tipping culture and the quality of service.

I am already aware of these differences and do not expect the same level of service as in Japan while abroad. I understand that some participants may not grasp these concepts, but the way it was conveyed felt quite condescending, almost as if the guide was ashamed of Japanese people. I understand the sentiment, but it was uncomfortable. It would have been better to casually say something like, "Please leave your tips here at the end. Feel free to ask if you have any questions," rather than raising one's voice and dragging out the explanation.

Additionally, during the dolphin watching from the boat, when the dolphins were only visible in the distance, the guide said to the Japanese guests (not us), "You've seen them, right? Hurry back to your seats!" which left a bad taste in my mouth. We participated to see the dolphins, after all. Perhaps it was due to concerns about seasickness? Again, I thought the delivery could have been better.

On a positive note, the explanations about the ecology of sea turtles and dolphins, as well as the advice for dolphin swimming, were very helpful and appreciated. Thanks to that, I was able to jump in without hesitation and saw both dolphins and honu.

Regarding the activity plan, I was looking forward to snorkeling, SUP, and water slides besides dolphin swimming, but the time was very short, and we couldn't do SUP, which was disappointing, though I understand it was due to the schedule. It felt like a bonus. If given another opportunity, I plan to participate in these marine activities with dedicated time.

While I have shared many critiques, I want to emphasize that we did not experience seasickness thanks to effective medication, and we were able to encounter dolphins and honu, which was very moving, so I am glad we participated. The staff, aside from the aforementioned issues, were all very friendly, cheerful, and enjoyable to be around. The photographer was also very nice and provided detailed answers about dolphin ecology. We were able to purchase many photos for just $65, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you.

Regarding tips, Japanese participants often wonder how much to give, so I’ll share my thoughts for reference. The Japanese guide mentioned that the usual tip is around 20%, with a minimum of about 10%. When we participated in other activities where we received excellent service, we each gave 25%. For those who provided exceptional service, we also give individual tips separately. For this activity, we tipped about 15% each. We also left about 10% collectively for the shuttle bus.

日本人ガイドは海という一歩間違えると命を落としかねないアクティビティでは細かな説明や注意事項を聞くのにとてもありがたかったです。が・・・
ハワイ(アメリカ)と日本の文化の違いについて厳しく説明されました。
主にチップ文化やサービスのクオリティの違いについてです。

そんなこと承知の上ですし海外にきて日本と同等のサービスなど求めておりません。
参加者の中にそれらを理解されていない方もおられるのかと存じますが、言い方がどうも･･･そんな日本人を恥と思っているような物言いで正直不快でした。気持ちは分かりますが･･･
無知な方がおられるのか知りませんが声を荒げてダラダラと説明する内容ではないですね。サラッとスマートに「チップは終わりにここにちょうだいねー。分からなければ気軽に聞いて」など一言添える程度で良いのでは？

あと、船上からのイルカウォッチングの際、遠くに小さく見える程度で皆さん一生懸命みていてやっと少し近づくと１分もたたないで「もう見たからいいでしょ！早く席に戻って！」と言っていた（私達ではない日本人客に対して）のにも気分が悪くなりました。
私たちはイルカを見るために参加しているのです。
船酔いを心配してでしょうか？やはりここでも言い方が悪いなと思ってしまいました。

しかし、ウミガメやイルカの生態についての説明や、ドルフィンスイムの際に見るためのアドバイス等はとてもためになり良かったです。
お陰様で躊躇なく飛び込むことができましたし、イルカもホヌも見れました。

アクティビティのプランについて
ドルフィンスイム以外のシュノーケルやSUPやウォータースライダーなども楽しみにしていましたが時間がとても短くてSUPまでは出来ずで残念でしたがタイムスケジュール的に仕方ないかなと。オマケみたいなものですね。
また機会があればこれらのマリンアクテビティは別でしっかり時間をとったものに参加しようと思います。

・・とここまで長々と余り良い感想はないですが。
私達は酔い止めも薬もしっかり効き船酔いすることもなく、イルカやホヌにも出会えとても感動しましたので参加して良かったと思っています。
スタッフの方も上記のこと以外はすごくフレンドリーで明るく楽しい方ばかりで良かったです。
カメラマンの方もとても良い方でイルカの生態についても質問すると詳しく教えていただけました。写真もたくさん枚数があるのに65ドルで購入できとても良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございます。


チップについでですが、日本人参加者の方々はどのくらい渡そうかと悩みますので参考までに書いておきます。
その日本人ガイドさんも普通20%位で 〜10%程度とおっしゃっており、私達も他のアクティビティに参加した際、とても良くしていただいたのでその時は25%を夫婦各々で渡しました。また特別お世話になったなと感じた人にはそれとは別で個別に渡すようにしています。今回こちらのアクティビティでは夫婦各自15%程度を。送り迎えのバスには夫婦でまとめて10%程度入れて帰りました。

I felt a bit of fear at first, but it was actually not scary at all and was very refreshing! The captain and the crew were very friendly and made jokes to entertain us. They offered to take photos if we wanted, so I asked them to do so. Looking back at them later, they truly became wonderful memories. It was also nice that the number of participants wasn't too large.

Additionally, I forgot that the meeting time was 30 minutes before the reservation time, so I arrived just in time... I tried calling the local contact, but I couldn't get through, which was concerning. However, I received a call from VELTRA (with Japanese staff) who checked on the situation, and I was both surprised and grateful. What great service! Thank you very much.
