Thanks to the lovely Japanese guide Fuko, who greeted us with a smile, I had a great time throughout the trip. She talked a lot about Hawaii while we were on the boat and brought us drinks; she was truly a considerate tour guide. A pod of spinner dolphins swam around the boat for a long time, jumping and showing off their cute appearances. During snorkeling, we saw several green sea turtles. There weren't many fish, but I was very satisfied!

お迎えの時から笑顔が可愛い日本人のフウコさんのお陰で、終始楽しく参加させて頂きました。
船の中でもハワイの事をたくさんお話してくれたり、ドリンクを持ってきてくれたり、本当に気遣いの素晴らしい添乗員さんでした。
ハシナガイルカの群が長い時間船の周りを泳いでくれて、ジャンプしたり可愛い姿を見せてくれました。シュノーケリングではアオウミガメを何匹も見れました。お魚さんはちょっと少なかったですが、大満足でした！

It was an awesome experience, made even better with our tour guide and driver, Elsie she rocks!!

The 150 meters was higher and scarier than I imagined, but it was a lot of fun and became a wonderful memory! Since there is less of a roller coaster-like feeling of weightlessness, I think even those who are not good with attractions can enjoy it. The staff were all very friendly and kind, so even if you have concerns about the language, you'll be fine!

150メートルは想像より高くて怖かったですがとても楽しくて素敵な思い出になりました！ジェットコースターのような浮遊感は少ないので、アトラクションが苦手な方でも楽しめると思います。
スタッフの方も皆さんとても気さくで優しかったので言語に不安があっても大丈夫です！

I was a bit anxious since I only understood a little English, but I was able to mimic those around me and, although it was tough to catch the fast English during explanations, I could understand through gestures! Basically, the instructor finds sea turtles and guides us, so if you follow along while swimming, you can see them!

実際英語が少しわかるくらいで不安でしたが周りの人の真似したり説明の時めちゃ早い英語で聞き取るのが大変ですがジェスチャーなどで読み取ることはできました！
基本的にはインストラクターがウミガメなど見つけて案内してくれるので泳いでる時もついて行けば見れます！

It was my first horseback riding experience, and I felt安心 because there were explanations in Japanese. Riding through the magnificent scenery known as a filming location for movies was truly special, and it became an unforgettable memory where I could fully experience the great nature of Hawaii.

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、日本語説明もあり安心して楽しめました。映画のロケ地として知られる壮大な景色を馬に乗って巡る時間は本当に特別で、ハワイの大自然を全身で感じられる忘れられない思い出になりました。

I experienced seven zip lines, including the longest one in Oahu. Those who joined for their first time were initially nervous, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed sliding backward and headfirst in the second half. The instructors were friendly and helped create a fun atmosphere, making it a very enjoyable experience.

オアフ最長を含む7本のジップラインを体験しました。
一緒に参加したジップラインが初めての人は、最初は恐る恐る滑走していましたが、途中から慣れてくると、後半は後ろ向きや頭を下にしての滑走などを楽しんでいました。
インストラクターの方々も気さくに盛り上げてくれるので、とても楽しめました。

I participated in September. The staff were all very kind, and the instructions were provided in both English and Japanese, which was very considerate. I was a bit anxious since it had been a while since I went snorkeling, but they explained in detail how to put on the gear, safety tips, and what to do if water gets in, which made me feel at ease. Not only did I see dolphins (including mother and baby dolphins!), but I also got to see turtles and even some rare seals, making it a truly fulfilling trip! When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to experience this tour once more.

9月に参加しました。スタッフの方々は皆さんとても親切で、インストラクションも英語・日本語交互で行われる丁寧さがありました。シュノーケリングが久しぶりだったので不安でしたが、付け方や注意点、水が入ってしまった時の対応方法等を細かく説明してくださったので安心しました。イルカ(親子イルカも！)だけでなく、亀や珍しいあざらしまで見れて、本当に充実した旅になりました！またハワイに行くときは、ぜひこちらのツアーをもう一度体験したいです。

I was quite anxious due to my limited English skills, but I received a very clear explanation of the entire facility from a humorous staff member who spoke Japanese, which eased my tension and made me feel at ease! Before riding, we watched a DVD explaining how to ride, and since it was in Japanese, it was very easy to understand, which was also reassuring! The horses were calm, and I was able to experience everything safely throughout! I was able to feel the great nature that can't be seen in Japan, and it was a truly valuable experience♡

英語力があまりなく、不安だったのですが、日本語を話せるユーモア満載のスタッフさんから初めに施設全体の説明を頂き、とても分かりやすく緊張がいっきに和らぎ安心できました！
乗馬前に乗り方の説明DVDを観るのですが日本語で流れるので、とても分かりやすくその点もとても安心できました！！
お馬さん達も落ち着いていて、終始安全に体験できました！
日本では見られない大自然も感じれて、すごく貴重な経験ができました♡

You will enjoy the train ride with people who are having fun in the maze. After dropping off at Dole, those going horseback riding will spend about 30 to 40 minutes shopping and using the restroom before heading out for the ride.

Since we pass through the town of Haleiwa first, we will explain the locations of restrooms and popular spots often visited by Japanese tourists while heading to the Mokuleia horseback riding area.

Even if it's your first time riding, I think you'll feel comfortable. There is a QR code for a Japanese explanation video that you can scan and watch. There is also an explanation in English. You will be told the name of the horse you will ride before setting off. The view of the beach is very beautiful and moving. You can take photos and videos with your smartphone, and at the turnaround point on the beach, you can also have pictures taken. You will be walking in an area with very little shade.

After that, we will move to Haleiwa, where you can have lunch at your preferred spot. After checking out a few shops, it was almost time to gather again. Matsumoto Shave Ice had an incredible line, so I couldn't manage to get any.

The driver was very talkative, and I was able to hear various interesting stories. For those who can drive, renting a car and going on your own would allow for a more leisurely experience, but for someone like me who can't drive, this tour was very appreciated.

送りはドールで電車、迷路を楽しむ人と一緒です。ドールの方を降ろし乗馬の人はドールで30〜40分ほど買い物、トイレをして乗馬に出発します。
ハレイワの街を先に通過するのでお手洗いの場所や日本人がよく訪れる場所の説明をしながらモクレイアの乗馬場へ向かいます。
乗馬は初めてでも安心して乗れると思います。日本語の説明動画をQRコードで読み取って見られました。英語での説明もあります。自分が乗る馬の名前を教えてもらい出発します。ビーチが見えるととても綺麗で感動します。スマホで写真や動画の撮影もできますし、折り返し地点のビーチでは写真も撮ってもらえます。日陰がほとんどない場所を歩きます。
その後ハレイワに移動しますが昼食を好きなところでとってお店を何軒か見たらすぐに集合時間でした。マツモトシェイブアイスはすごい行列なので無理でした。
運転手の方はとても話好きで色々な話が聞けました。とても興味深い話でした。
車の運転ができる方はレンタカーを借りて自分で行ったほうがゆっくりできますが、できない私にはとてもありがたいツアーでした。

Since my parents can't swim and said they were scared of diving, we chose this activity. It was really okay not to swim at all, and my parents, who are in their sixties, enjoyed it. The staff mentioned that even a 90-year-old person had experienced it!

泳げない両親はダイビングが怖いと言っていたので、このアクティビティを選びました。
本当に泳がなくても大丈夫で、還暦の両親も楽しんでいました。90歳の方も体験されたと係の方がお話しされてました！

Wearing life jackets made it safe, and the guide was professional, quickly discovering and leading us to the sea turtle spot.

ライフジャケットを身につけため安全で、引率者の方もプロフェッショナルですぐ海亀スポットを発見して案内してくれました。

We utilized the afternoon plan for a family of four, including our elementary school-aged son and daughter. We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, and from there, it took about 20 minutes by boat. On the boat, we enjoyed lunch (croissant sandwiches, etc.) and drinks while taking in the scenery. After finishing our meal, we arrived offshore shortly after.

When I went, the water depth was just enough for an adult like me to stand a little, rather than being at a sandbar.

Once offshore, we enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, which thrilled the kids. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish even as a beginner when diving in areas with coral. Additionally, there were about 4-5 staff members nearby at all times, so I felt comfortable letting the little ones play.

We also reserved a banana boat as an option, but due to some waves that day, we switched to a banana boat. The kids enjoyed the thrill of being towed at a decent speed, and we were amazed when a large sea turtle came right next to the boat. It was much bigger than the sea turtles we saw in Haleiwa Bay, and when I asked the staff, they mentioned that this area has few predators, allowing them to grow larger.

The tour lasted just under four hours, from around 12 PM to 4 PM, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, making it a reassuring experience for those who are not confident in English.

I participated in the afternoon session with about 20 people in six groups. I noticed that there were significantly more participants in the morning session, likely more than double. If it’s less crowded, I think you can enjoy the activities for a longer time, so the impression may vary depending on how busy it is.

小学生の息子・娘を含む家族4人で午後プランを利用しました。
集合場所まではレンタカーで行き、そこから船で約20分、船中はランチ（クロワッサンサンド等）や飲み物がついているのでそれを食べながら風景を楽しみ、食べ終わって少しすると沖に到着。
ちなみに私が行った時はサンドバーではなく、大人の自分が水中で少し足がつくかな、くらいの水深でした。

沖ではカヤックやSUPが楽しめ子供たちも大喜び。スノーケリングでは珊瑚がある場所で潜ると素人の私でもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
またスタッフが4-5名は随時近くに居てくれるので、多少小さな子がいても安心して遊ばせることができると思いました。

また、オプションでバンパーボートを予約したのですが、この日は波が少しあったので当日バナナボートに変更、そこそこのスピードで牽引され子供たちもスリルを楽しんだほか、大きなウミガメがボートのすぐ横まで寄ってきて感動しました。
ハレイワ湾で見たウミガメよりもだいぶ大きく、スタッフに聞いたところこの辺りは外敵が少ないため、大きく成長できるんだとか。

12時過ぎから16時ころまで4時間弱、楽しむことができるツアーで、参加中も日本語が話せるスタッフもいたので、英語が得意でない方にも安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。

私が参加したのは午後で6組で20名ちょっとくらいが参加、当日の午前のツアーで下船された方は非常に多く倍以上は参加者がいたのではと思います。空いているとアクティビティも楽しめる時間が長くなると思うので、混み具合で多少印象は変わるかもしれません。

The scenery was beautiful, the horses were cute, and I had a great time! My assigned horse was a bit quirky, which made it even more interesting! I want to do it again!

風景も綺麗で馬も可愛くてすごく楽しかったです！
私の担当馬はちょっと捻くれていてそれも尚面白かったです！
またやりたいなぁ！

It was an incredibly fun experience. The staff were friendly and professional, providing a smooth sailing experience from takeoff to landing. The views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky were also breathtaking.

最高に楽しい体験でした。
スタッフさんはフレンドリーかつプロフェッショナルで、上昇から戻りまでスムーズなセイリング体験でした。空から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも絶景でした。

the staff are so nice and helpful,the views are beautiful

This activity was so much fun and everyone is so sweet

It was my first parasailing experience in my life. I felt less of the floating sensation and fear than I had imagined, and overall it was a fun experience. The two male guides provided clear and easy-to-understand explanations, taking care of all the difficult parts. I also bought a photo as a keepsake. I highly recommend trying it at least once!!

人生初のパラセーリング体験でした。
想像していたよりも浮遊感や怖さなどはなく、終始楽しかった印象です。
先導員の2人の男性の説明も丁寧で分かりやすく、難しいところは全てやってくれます。
記念に写真も撮ってらい購入しました。
一度体験してみることをオススメします！！

We were able to see a lot of dolphins right after departing, making it the best cruising experience! Snorkeling in the beautiful sea was also a valuable experience. The staff were friendly and kind, and we had a great time.

出港後すぐに沢山のイルカを見ることができ、最高のクルージングになりました！綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングも貴重な体験でした。スタッフの皆さんも気さくで親切にしていただき、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

These waters were just sparkling, and there was good snorkeling views.

Lots of movie history mixed in, and the UTVS are in great shape!

Really unique, I have never got to be in a submarine so was a frist time experience and lots of fish life!

These ziplines were some of the fastest we have been on, but the crew was also great at teaching us all the safety throughout the course!

Just as expected, a thrilling day, the kids were giggling to the nines. Easy family fun day.

Super easy hiking path and a gorgeous hike all around!

hot on the first hour of the ship. but the rest of the night was fabulous.

When you think of Hawaii, you might imagine a Polynesian show with fire dancing, but this is an indoor magic show.

The magician is a famous person who has appeared on "Tetsuko's Room," but the show is primarily in English. If there are Japanese guests, he will speak a little in Japanese, but it's just a tiny bit.

Very young children who don't understand English at all may have a hard time keeping up. Since he is a magician, his movements are quite fast, so it might be confusing for children around 7 years old and younger.

Adults will enjoy it!

ハワイといえば炎をまわすポリネシアンショーをイメージしやすいですが、こちらはインドアのマジックショーです。

マジック担当は徹子の部屋にもでていた有名な方ですが、基本は英語です。
日本人ゲストがきていたら少しだけ日本語で話してくれますが、あくまでほんの少しです。

英語まったくわからない小さな子供にはあまりついていけないです。
マジシャンだけあって所作のスピードもはやいため7歳以下くらいの子供には❓かもしれません。

大人はたのしいです

Parasailing itself was very fun. The staff also made it enjoyable for us! I want to do it again—thank you!

パラセーリング自体とても楽しかったです
スタッフの方も楽しませて下さいました！
またやりたいです〜ありがとうございました！

I participated with a 10-year-old boy.

Including photo sessions, it was about 2 hours of continuous buggy riding. I think it's quite rare to have such a long experience.

The feeling of refreshment and being in nature is the best.

Women and girls can also join, but a word of caution: it gets very dusty. Your shoes will get dirty with dry reddish-brown soil.

If you plan to go shopping or to a nice restaurant right after this experience, be prepared. My black hair turned brown and tangled, my black T-shirt became reddish-brown, and my face was brown too. While riding the buggy, laughing and talking made my teeth brown as well. But it was so much fun; my son and I, along with other foreigners experiencing it, were all laughing and taking pictures.

It's better not to wear nice clothes or sneakers.

Women should be careful as makeup will definitely get ruined.

If it rains, it will get even worse. This is an activity suited for men who don't mind getting dirty.

Also, you need a rental car to get to the location. It's right next to Haleiwa, so it can be a bit unsettling at first due to the lack of landmarks, but it's in a simple location.

I want to go back to this place the next time I visit Hawaii.

10歳の男の子と参加。
写真撮影含め約2時間、ぶっ続けでバギーです。
なかなかこの長時間は他にはないと思います。

スッキリ感と自然を感じるのは最高です。

女性も、女の子もいけますが、注意点は、
かなり土ぼこりだらけになります。
靴も乾いた赤茶の土で汚れます。

こちらの体験後に買い物や、高めのレストランにそのまま行く予定がある方は覚悟したほうがよいです。
筆者も黒髪が茶色でガシガシになり、黒のTシャツが赤茶色、顔も茶色、バギー乗っている間に笑うのと喋るため　歯まで茶色になります。
でもそれが楽しく、私も息子も、同時に体験してる外人も皆、大笑いして写真に残していました。

良い服装や、スニーカーなどは着て行かないほうがいいです。

女性はお化粧が確実にダメになりますのでご注意。

スコールきたらもっとひどくなります。
汚れを気にしない男性向きのアクティビティです。

あとレンタカーなどでないと現地にはいけないです。
ハレイワのすぐ横ですので目印がないのが最初は不安になりますが、単純な場所にあります。

次回ハワイ行く際も行きたい場所です。

This was my third time parasailing 🪂. There might be some people hesitant to join because they're scared, but even a timid 10-year-old boy can do it without any issues. It's a little scary before you take off, but once you start, everyone is smiling. This time, there was also a couple in their 80s who flew together.

My child wants to fly again next year.

Since we went out early in the morning, the boat was rocking, so I recommend not overeating before the activity and taking motion sickness medication.

I usually don’t get motion sickness, but this time, with five groups flying, it was a long ride, and I started to feel a bit nauseous towards the end, which was a bit dangerous. There was a woman in a couple who looked like newlyweds in their 20s, and she seemed exhausted halfway through.

3度めのパラセーリング🪂
怖くて参加迷ってる人いるかもですが、10歳のビビリの男の子でも全然大丈夫です。
飛ぶ前まで少し怖いだけで、いざ始まればみんな笑顔。
今回は一緒に飛んだ人で80代のご夫婦もいました。

子供は来年も飛びたいと言っています。

朝イチからで、ボート揺れますので、アクティビティ前の食べ過ぎと、酔い止めは飲むのをオススメします。

私は普段酔いませんが、今回は5グループの飛行で長かったので、後半は少し気持ち悪くなってしまって危なかったです。
20代くらいの新婚さんかなとゆうカップルの女性の方は途中からグッタリしてました。

The shuttle bus staff only spoke English, but I was relieved to find a Japanese-speaking staff member once we arrived at Kualoa. The buggy experience was exciting and very enjoyable! It's definitely something you should do!

送迎バスの方は英語しかできないですが
クアロアに着いてから日本語のできるスタッフさんがいて安心しました。
バギー体験はエキサイティングでとても楽しかったです！絶対やるべきです！
