Sometimes there were incredible downpours, but we kept moving without stopping!
There was no dust from the rain, but even with a roof, we got completely soaked, so it might be better to have a raincoat!
We were drenched, but we still had fun in the rain!

時々ものすごいスコールが振りましたが、止まることなく進みます！
雨で砂埃はありませんでしたが、屋根があってもめちゃくちゃ濡れるのでレインコートがあった方がいいかもです！
びしょ濡れでしたが雨でも楽しめました！

It was a refreshing off-road tour! I had heard it would be English-only, but there were staff who spoke Japanese at both the visitor center and the buggy tour, and they provided additional explanations in Japanese after the English ones, which made me feel quite at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience. Not only the tour, but the facilities at the visitor center, which is the departure point for the tour, were also well-equipped (with dinosaur monuments, exhibition facilities, a ranch, a food court, souvenirs, and lockers available for use), and I was happy that there was plenty of time to explore.

気分爽快のオフロードツアーでした！
英語オンリーだと聞いていましたが、ビジターセンターにもバギーツアーにも日本語を話せるスタッフがおり、英語説明後に日本語で補足いただけたのでかなり安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
ツアーだけでなく、ツアー発着場であるビジターセンターの施設も充実しており(恐竜のモニュメント、展示施設、牧場、フードコート、お土産、出し入れ可能なロッカー等があり)、散策できる時間が十分に確保されていたのが嬉しかったです。

Departing after watching the Japanese video. I didn't understand any of the explanations along the way since they were all in English, but it was no problem at all. Last year, the path was muddy and it rained lightly, which made it fun in a different way. This year, the weather was too nice, and it was full of dust! Unfortunately, the second half of the path was paved, so it lacked the thrill we had last year. But the weather was great, and the sandbar was clearly visible, making the scenery fantastic!

日本語の映像を見て出発。途中の説明は全て英語でわからなかったけど、全く問題なし。去年は雨上がりでドロドロで小雨が降ったりで道が悪くて逆に楽しかった。今年は天気が良過ぎてホコリだらけになった！残念な事に後半の道が舗装されていて去年までのようなスリルはなかったな。でも、天気が良くてサンドバーも良く見えて景色サイコー

Riding along the beautiful coastline was amazing. The initial explanation in Japanese video made me feel at ease. The horses are very well trained, so it's fine even for beginners. They also take photos along the way.

綺麗な海沿いを乗馬できるなんて、最高でした
最初日本語のビデオで説明もあり、安心です
ウマもとてもよく調教されていて、はじめてでも大丈夫です
途中で写真も撮ってくれます

This is my second time participating, and last time the water was knee-deep, but this time it was up to my neck. There was live music on the boat the whole time, and the atmosphere was very nice. The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring.

２回目の参加ですが、前回は膝くらいの深さで
今回は首までの深さがありました
船の中はずっと生演奏があり、とても雰囲気が良かったです
船にはトイレもあり、安心です

The cruise was quite good with beautiful seas and a refreshing breeze. The movie location tour had some artificially created spots, but the scenery was nice. The English guide told jokes, but I was disappointed that I couldn't understand them due to my listening skills.

クルーズが、綺麗な海と爽やかな風でかなり良かった。映画ロケ地ツアーは人工的に作られてるところもあったけれど、景色が良かった。英語ガイドがジョークを言うのだけど、リスニング力が無く残念だった。

This time, I participated with a companion. Thank you for the amazing parasailing over the ocean in Waikiki. Those who are afraid of heights might find it a bit challenging, but I still think it's worth it. Also, if you're concerned about seasickness, make sure to take motion sickness medication before going.

今回，同行者との2人で参加しました．ワイキキの海に最高なパラセイリング，ありがとうございました．
高所恐怖症の方は少し苦手かもしれませんが，それでも行く価値はあると思います．
あと，船酔いする懸念がある方は必ず酔い止めを飲んでから行きましょう．

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed ziplining amidst the beautiful contrast of the sky, mountains, and ocean in Kualoa, Hawaii. The staff only spoke English, but they were cheerful and friendly, enhancing the experience of the activities. I think it's definitely worth a try.

　天気に恵まれ、ハワイのクアロアの空、山、海の美しいコントラストの中、ジップラインを楽しめました。スタッフは英語オンリーですが、明るく親切で、アクティビティを盛り上げてくれます。トライして損はないと思います。

We had a great time. The crew was outstanding. We wish we had mere time on the sandbar.

Great entertainment and beautiful setting. Helpful life guards provided great instructions and safety info. Very organized and efficient. Had a great time would recommend and rebook on a return trip.

It was drizzling on the day of our visit, but since it's a mountain area, the weather changed frequently between sunny and cloudy. The ride on the buggy wasn't very comfortable, but it became a good memory nonetheless. The scenery is absolutely stunning. We stopped the buggy at various spots where the staff provided explanations, but since it was in English, I didn't understand much. However, I managed to grasp the gist and enjoyed it. They also provided something like a neck warmer on-site, which helped avoid the dust. Goggles are also available for free rental.

当日は小雨でしたが山の天気なので変わりやすいのか晴れたり曇ったりでした。
バギーの乗り心地はあまりよくなかったのですが、それもいい思い出になりました。
とにかく景色が素晴らしいです。
各所でバギーを停めてスタッフの方が色々な説明をしてくれましたが英語だったのでさっぱりわかりませんでしたが、なんとなく理解して楽しめました。
現地でネックウォーマーみたいなものもいただけるので砂埃は回避できました。ゴーグルも無料で貸してもらえます。

We participated as a family of three. While some activities are far from Waikiki, this canoe was easily accessible in Waikiki, and the staff and captain were very kind, allowing us to catch some great waves.

家族３名での参加。アクティビティはワイキキから遠いものもありますが、このカヌーはサッとワイキキで利用できて、スタッフ、キャプテンもとても親切で良い波に乗れました。

Crew was great, food was good, would recommend to all

The number of units was limited, and there was almost always a wait time. Some people were getting seasick while waiting. The actual time spent diving was very short, which was disappointing.

台数が限られてほとんど待ち時間でした。
人によっては待ってる時間で船酔いしていました。実際に装着して潜った時間もすごく短くて不満だった。

I loved the movie filmed here and made a reservation. The scale was grand, and I was able to experience something extraordinary!

However, while other guides were taking pictures with dinosaur plush toys in the drop-off area, our guide stayed in the car. I think it would be a better tour if you could ensure a more equal quality of guides.

こちらで撮影された映画が大好きで予約をしました。
スケールが壮大で非日常を味わうことができました！

ただ、降車エリアで他のガイドさんは恐竜のぬいぐるみを持って撮影してくれていたのに、私たちのガイドは車に乗ったままでした。
ガイドの質平等を頼んでいただけたらもっといいツアーになると思います。

I participated with my wife and our two children, aged 9 and 5. I was a bit worried that my 5-year-old might be scared, but he had a great time. The weather was nice, and the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was incredibly refreshing.

妻、9歳、5歳の子供と家族4人で参加しました。
ちょっと怖がるかな？と不安でしたが5歳の息子も大はしゃぎでした。
天気も良くワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドヘッドが見渡せて爽快感が半端なかったです。

We went to the Polynesian show at WDW years ago and this one blew it out of the water. Fantastic family atmosphere.

I joined a tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins. Right after we set sail, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins, and they swam alongside the boat for a long time, jumping several times. The natural dolphin show was absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly and taught us a lot about Hawaii. It was quite cold when we returned after snorkeling, so I really appreciated the warm drink they provided. I was hoping there would be a hot water shower, but unfortunately, there wasn't.

野生のイルカを見たくてツアーに参加しました。出航してからすぐにマダライルカの群れに会うことができ、長時間船と一緒に泳いでくれたり何度もジャンプもしてくれました。自然のイルカショーはとても最高でした。スタッフの方もとても親切でハワイについて色々と教えてくれました。シュノーケルを終えて帰ってくるときとても寒かったので温かいドリンクの提供ありがたかったです。
温水シャワー付きなのかと思っていたのですがなかったのが残念でした。

On the way to Haleiwa (North Shore), we had a break at the Dole Plantation. It’s a good spot for a restroom break and to check out souvenirs. I took some photos and bought a T-shirt. After that, we were taken to the ranch to start our horseback riding experience. The driver spoke fluent Japanese and provided an overview during the ride. However, all the staff at the ranch were locals, so they didn’t speak Japanese. But they were very friendly, and I managed just fine by watching and mimicking them. My child had ridden horses in Japan before, but this was the first time riding independently rather than on a lead. Since we would be riding for nearly an hour, I was initially anxious, but the horses were very calm, and I quickly got used to it and felt at ease. More than that, my backside was sore! The weather was great, and as we rode along the beach, I felt time slow down and realized I was having a precious experience. This isn’t something you can do in Japan... I would love to do it again if I have the chance, but please be aware that the muscles in my legs, which I don’t usually use, were quite sore right after getting off the horse.

After the horseback riding experience, we were dropped off in the town of Waialua for some free time until the meeting time. We took a lunch break at Island Vintage Coffee and had an acai bowl and a veggie bagel plate. It was very delicious, and my wife really enjoyed the bagel sandwich. After that, we strolled around the town, visiting clothing stores and shops, and when we got thirsty, we ordered shave ice. There was quite a line, but it moved quickly, so we didn’t have to wait too long. On the way back in the car, I was able to sleep soundly, and we got back before 3:00 PM, so it didn’t affect anything afterward. I think it was a really good optional tour.

ハレイワ（ノースショア）までの途中、ドールプランテーションで休憩があります。
トイレ休憩やお土産物を見るのも良いでしょう。私は、写真を撮りTシャツを購入しました。その後、牧場まで連れて行ってもらい、乗馬体験のスタートです。ドライバーさんは日本語ぺらぺらなので、行きの道中におおよその説明をしてくれます。というか牧場のスタッフの方々は全て現地の方なので、日本語は通じませんw　でもフレンドリーに接してくださるので見よう見まねで全然大丈夫でした。子供も日本で馬には乗ったことがあったのですが、引き馬でなく自分で動かすのは初めて。しかも1時間近く乗りますので、最初は不安でしたが、馬さん達も非常に大人しく、すぐに慣れて安心して見ていられました。それよりも自分のお尻が痛かったですw　天候も良くて、馬に乗りながらビーチ沿いを歩いていると時の流れをゆっくりに感じて、貴重な体験をしているなぁとしみじみ感じてしまいました。日本ではこうはいかないと・・・　また機会あれば体験したいですが、普段使わない足の筋肉が酷使されているため、馬から降りた直後は心地よい筋肉痛を感じることをご了承ください。
乗馬体験の後はワレイワの街で下ろしてもらい、集合時間までフリータイム。アイランドビンテージコーヒーでお昼休憩を取り、アサイーボウルとベジベーグルのプレートを食べました。非常に美味で、妻がベーグルサンドにハマってました。その後は街をぶらつき、洋服屋、雑貨屋さんを巡り、喉が乾いたところでシェイブアイスを注文。結構な人が並んでいましたが、回転が早いのでそんなに待つことなくありつけました。帰りの車の中ではぐっすり寝ることもでき、15:00前には帰って来れたので、その後に影響することもなく、非常に良いオプショナルツアーではないかなと思いました。

It's a bit expensive, but you should choose the PM course. The AM course can be cold if it's not sunny. When it's cloudy or rainy, the water visibility is low and it feels cold. The snorkeling equipment is old and there isn't enough, so I recommend buying some at ABC Store before going.

多少高いがPMコースにするべき。AMコースは晴れていないと寒い。
曇りや雨だと、水の透明度も低く冷たく感じる。シュノーケル機材も古く数も足りないので、ABCストアで買って行くのをお勧めする。

I wanted my grandchildren to experience various activities at the Polynesian Cultural Center, so we went as a family of nine, including my four grandchildren (ages 0, 2, 10, and 11). Children aged 0 and 2 are free, and those aged 10 and 11 get half price. Other tours don’t offer such benefits, so we were able to participate at a reasonable cost. We had a great time exploring the six villages and experiencing Polynesian culture, as well as enjoying a canoe tour.

Since very little Japanese was spoken, it was difficult to understand how to use the voucher for entry and the announcements regarding pickup times and locations. Japanese brochures are available at the entrance.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターで子どもたちに色々と体験させたいと思い、孫4人(0歳2歳10歳11歳)を含め一家9人で行きました。0歳2歳は無料、10歳11歳は半額。他のツアーではこのような特典がないので、リーズナブルに参加することができました。6つ村を巡ってポリネシア文化体験、カヌーツアーと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
日本語がほとんど通じなかったので、バウチャーを使っての入園の仕方や迎えの時間と場所のアナウンスが分かりにくかったです。
日本語版のリーフレットは、入口でもらえます。

It's early in the morning, and although the activity time is only two hours, which seems inefficient, it's incredibly fun. Unlike horseback riding experiences at tourist spots in Japan, I really felt like I was riding the horse myself. (Maybe I was just being put on it?) Anyway, it was very fulfilling.

朝早くてそれでもアクティビティの時間は２時間と効率は悪い様ですが何より楽しい。
日本の観光地の乗馬体験とは違い自分でも馬に乗ったと思えます。（乗せられたのかも？)
とにかく充実感あります。

We participated as a family of five.
At first, we were shown a video in Japanese, so there were no problems.
For now, we got covered in sand. (laughs)
That said, they provided goggles and something to cover our mouths, so it wasn't an issue.
There are ups and downs, but it's not as scary as it sounds. We departed in groups of about ten, and the guide stopped at points to provide guidance, but I couldn't understand what he was saying in English. I think it would be helpful to have a translation app.
At one of the stops, a local staff member will take photos for you, so be sure to ask.
Also, since we had two hours, I think we really got to enjoy nature in the end.

家族5人で参加しました。
最初の説明などは日本語でのビデオを見せてもらえるので問題ありません。
とりあえず、砂まみれになります。笑
とはいえ、ゴーグルや口をおおうものをくれるので問題なかったです。
アップダウンはありますが、恐怖ほどはないです。10台ずつぐらいまとめて出発し、ガイドさんがポイントで止まりガイダンスしてくれますが、英語で何をいってるのか不明でした。翻訳アプリあるといいと思います。
途中のポイントでは現地スタッフのお兄さんが写真を撮ってくれるので頼んでみましょう。
あとは、、2時間あるので最後は自然を充分味わった感があると思います。

I had a wonderful night in Hawaii♡ It started while it was still bright in the evening, and I enjoyed the transition of the sky from dusk to night♪

とても素晴らしいHawaiiの夜を過ごす事ができました♡夕方明るいうちから始まり､夕暮れから夜になる空の移り変わりも楽しめました♪

My son had the best experience all thanks to Gio, thank you and your crew.

Last time, I participated in a different sandbar tour with Veltra around the same time, but it was so deep that my daughter, who is nearly 140 cm tall, couldn't touch the bottom, and it was cold, so we wanted to try again. It was really great!! We saw a lot of fish and were able to do many marine sports, which was the best. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who can't swim at all, had no problems with snorkeling for the first time. The banana boat was also fantastic. I would love to participate again. If I had to say something, I wish there were a few more drinks available...

前回、同じ時期にベルトラの別のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、140センチ近くある娘の足が付かないほど深くて、かつ寒くて今回リベンジ。凄く良かったです！！魚もたくさん見れて、マリンスポーツもたくさん出来て最高でした。全く泳げないシュノーケリングも初体験の9才の娘でも問題ありませんでした。バナナボートも最高でした。また参加したいです。強いて言うなら、もうちょっとドリンク類置いて欲しかったな、、、

About 15 people, including Australians and African Americans, boarded the boat together. All the explanations were in English, which made it quite challenging to understand, but it was okay because I could grasp the atmosphere. The views were amazing, and the breeze felt great!

オーストラリア人や、アフリカ系の黒人たちと15名ほどが一緒に船に乗りました。
説明も全て英語で、聞き取りも大変でしたが、雰囲気で分かるから大丈夫。
最高の景色と風が気持ち良かったです！

I was hesitant to participate because I'm not good with heights, but I decided to join since it was a special opportunity. Once I got up there, the fear disappeared, and I was just able to enjoy the wonderful scenery. It was an extraordinary experience. Before I knew it, it was over, and I was laughing. The final landing was expertly done by the professionals, gently touching down in the sea. It really got my adrenaline pumping. The boat was quite rocky, so a strong motion sickness pill is a must.

高い所は苦手で参加するか迷いましたが、せっかくなのでと参加しました。
上がってしまえば怖さはなく、ただただ素敵な景色が見える♪非日常な体験です。
ワーワー言っているうちに終わります笑
最後の着水はプロの技で上手に海にポチョンとつけてくれました。テンション上がります。
船の揺れはすごいのでガッチリ効く酔い止め必須です。

Cousin Gaby was hilarious and informative. The site was breathtaking.

We enjoyed this trip a lot. The crew did they best to make sure we had good time and were safe. Live music was awesome!
