We were visiting Hawaii on our honeymoon and wanted to do a waterfall hike. Yuji was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable about all the trees and plants and he was very nice and funny. It was a great experience !

It's a tour that lasts about 2 hours in total. We went as a couple, but ended up with another person who joined us, so there were three of us taking off together. The drivers were two cheerful individuals, and they were entertaining throughout. It was also fun to be splashed with water multiple times. If you have a GoPro that's waterproof, you'll be fine.

全部で2時間くらいのツアーです。カップルで行ったのですが1人別で来ていた方と同じになり3人で飛び立ちました。運転手は愉快な2人で終始面白かったです。何回も水に落とされるのも面白かったです。ゴープロは防水仕様なら大丈夫です。

We went in late February. Since we went as a family, we all wore matching aloha shirts, and the women wore aloha dresses. However, everything from meals to shows was outdoors, so even in Hawaii, it was cold in February. We needed jackets, like hoodies or jumpers.

But from the moment we got on the bus, we practiced clapping and learned about the origins of the words, which made the trip enjoyable. Of course, everything was in English, but the guide worked hard to speak in Japanese and used gestures, so even if we didn't understand much English, we were able to have fun!

私達は2月の下旬に行きました。
家族で行ったので、全員でアロハシャツを揃えて、女性はアロハのワンピースで行きました。が、食事からショーからすべて外だったので、いくらハワイでも2月は寒かったです。上着、普通にパーカーやジャンパーが必要なぐらいでした。

でも行く時からバスの中で手拍子の練習や、言葉の由来などを教えてくれて、楽しみながら行けました。
もちろん全部英語でしたが、ガイドさんが頑張って日本語で話してくれたり、身振り手振りを入れてくれるので、あまり英語が分からなくても楽しめました！

It was the most fun activity I've experienced in Hawaii so far! (Personally) There was one staff member who spoke Japanese and was very friendly. The rest of the staff primarily spoke English, and all explanations were in English, but they communicated well with gestures, so it was not a problem at all! There were lockers and transportation available, which was great! There is a set pickup time, but there was a slight delay (typical overseas timing), but they do come to pick you up, so it's all good! If you're worried, it might be a good idea to call.

今までハワイで経験したアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです！（個人的に）
日本語を話してくれるスタッフさんは1人いてくれてとてもフレンドリーな方でした^_^それ以外の方は基本英語だけで、説明等も全て英語ですがジェスチャー等で教えてくれたりと全く問題ないです！ロッカーや送迎もあり良かったです！お迎え時間は設定されていますが多少遅れもありました（海外タイムですね）けどちゃんと迎えに来てくれるので大丈夫です！心配だったら電話すると良いかもです^_^

We went ziplining as a family! My parents had a great time too, and it felt amazing to glide through nature! The instructor took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories!

家族でジップラインに行きました！
両親もすごく楽しんでいて、自然の中を通っていくのがすごく気持ちよかったです！
インストラクターの方が写真もたくさん撮ってくれて良い思い出になりました♪

I participated with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old children. I was hoping to see various fish and, if lucky, a sea turtle. On the day of the event, while on the boat heading to Atlantis, we were able to see wild dolphins on the way there and a whale on the way back (the whale was quite far away, but the dolphins were very close).

There was an explanation in Japanese, and we were not too far from Waikiki Beach, where we saw many fish and, finally, the sea turtle. We even spotted a small shark, which made the kids enjoy the experience throughout. The boat was comfortable, but the air conditioning was a bit chilly, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.

4歳、6歳の子供達と参加しました。色々なお魚や運良くウミガメが見れたら嬉しいなぁと思っていましたが、いざ当日参加したらアトランティスに向かう迄の船内で行きに野生のイルカと帰りに鯨を見る事が出来ました。(鯨はだいぶ離れた距離.イルカはかなり至近距離でした)

日本語での説明もありワイキキビーチからそんなに離れていない海底で沢山の魚そして念願のウミガメ、小さいサイズでしたがサメも見る事が出来子供達は終始楽しんでいました。
船内も快適でしたが、やはり海外エアコン？空調？が少し肌寒かったので羽織りがあると良いかもです。

When I inquired during the application process, I was told there would be no Japanese staff on-site, which made me anxious. However, there were Japanese versions of the consent forms available. The driver for the transfer was kind, and although the local staff explained things in English, I managed to get by (laughs). I thought I could just mimic the other participants for how to ride, and I ended up skiing last every time. It became a wonderful memory.

申し込み時に聞いた際、現地には日本語スタッフがいない。。との事で　不安でしたが、同意書等は日本語版の用意がありました。送迎のドライバーさんも優しい方でしたし、現地スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、なんとかなりました(笑)乗り方等は他の参加者の真似をすれば良いと思い、毎回最後に滑りました。良い思い出になりました。

The location has been used for filming movies like Jurassic Park, and the two-hour horseback riding course offered breathtaking views, providing an experience that is hard to come by in Japan. If I were to point out a downside, I highly recommend the two-hour horseback riding course, but afterward, you might experience some soreness, which could slightly limit your movements the following day. Additionally, while a guide accompanies you, there was no discussion about the movie filming. The guide's role is to bring the horse back if it lags behind or strays off the path, using a whistle or whip, but during that time, the horse may suddenly start trotting, so it's best to be prepared for that jolt.

ジュラシックパーク等の映画ロケ地となっており、2時間の乗馬コースでしたが、雄大な景色は圧巻で、日本では得難い経験をすることが出来ました。敢えて、問題点をあげれば、乗馬は2時間コースを是非おすすめ致しますが、終了後、お尻が痛くなるため、翌日以降の動きに若干制約が出るかもしれません。また、ガイドの方が同伴してくれますが、映画ロケ等の話は全く有りませんでした。ガイドの役割として、馬が遅れた場合や道を逸れた場合に、口笛や鞭で引き戻してくれるのですが、その際に、突然馬が小走りになるので、その衝撃に備えていただいた方が良いと思います。

I took a deep breath, ducked under water and up into the globe of my personal submarine. There was a small chain link bag of fish food that I was instructed to shake, by hand motions, from the diver that stayed near and guided me around. The fish swarmed around me, bumping my fingers as they eagerly gobbled the food. It was surreal. The trip began with A few of us boarding a large motorized rubber raft that took us to a sandbar. The guide had a dog that was very enthusiastic. At one point it jumped into the water and swam behind the boat, which continued on leaving the dog way behind. At one point it was so far behind it was hard to see it. A real swimmer. We jumped into the water and were instructed how to use the Seabob. It pulled us around the water, which was too shallow to really get the feel of the machine. Low tide was not a good time to do this. It was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.

At first, I was nervous and scared, but it wasn't frightening at all, and it felt great. I definitely want others to experience it. I would like to do it again.

最初は緊張してびびってましたが、怖くもなく、気持ちよかったです。是非体験して欲しいです。またやりたいと思います。

We participated as a family. It was our first day at Waikiki Beach, and we were amazed by the beauty of the ocean with the kids. On top of that, we were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming right nearby.

There was an option to take a photo with Diamond Head in the background, which I thought would make a great memory, so I decided to purchase it.

We traveled by boat for about 10 minutes to get to the submarine, and during that time, we were able to see a whale in the distance. The guide spoke in Japanese and entertained us with jokes. Inside the submarine, we were satisfied with the experience as we could see corals, fish, and sea turtles up close.

However, I experienced more motion sickness than I expected. They provide etiquette bags, but I recommend that those who are sensitive take medication beforehand.

家族で参加しました。
ワイキキビーチに初めて行った日だったので、海のキレイさに子どもたちと感動しました。その上、海辺ではウミガメがすぐそこを泳いでいて大興奮でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮るという観光地特有のオプションがついていましたが、思い出になると思い購入しました。

潜水艦に乗るまで10分ほど船で移動するのですが、その際にクジラの姿も遠くに見ることができました。
ガイドは日本語で、時にジョークもあり楽しませてくれます。潜水艦では、サンゴや魚、ウミガメも間近に見ることができ満足な体験でした。

ただ、思った以上に乗り物酔いします。エチケット袋は用意されていますが、弱い人はお薬を飲んで行くことをおすすめします。

The day I participated, the water was murky and hard to see.
It's different from the scenery you can see while diving.
I think it would be appreciated by older people who want to see the sunken battleships and fighter planes.

The view from the boat on the way to the submarine was fantastic!

僕が参加した日は水が濁ってて見にくかったです。
ダイビングで見れる景色とは違います。
沈没した戦艦や戦闘機を見たいお年寄りの人には喜ばれると思います。

潜水艦に行くまでの船からの景色が最高でした♪

The scenery is beautiful, and the staff really gets everyone excited to have fun. I think the view after flying in the sky allows you to experience the beautiful ocean and the wonders of Hawaii.

I suffer from severe motion sickness, so I was feeling dizzy and nauseous the whole time, but next time I want to participate after taking motion sickness medication. The driver for the pickup was also a very fun person, and I enjoyed the time spent during the transfer. Thank you very much.

景色も美しく、スタッフの方もすごく楽しめるように盛り上がってくださいます。
空に飛んでからの景色はキレイな海やハワイの素晴らしさを体感することができると思います。

船酔いが酷い私はずっと吐き気でフラフラしてましたが、次回は酔い止めを飲んで参加したいと思います。
また送迎のドライバーさんもとても楽しい方で送迎時間を楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

Riding while watching the waves and surfers was really enjoyable. It was better than I expected. The horse wanted to eat grass all the time, which was a bit of a hassle, but I wished I could ride for a longer time.

海の波、サーファーを見ながらの乗馬は気持ち良かった。思った以上に良かった。
馬は草ばかり食べたがって困ったけど、
もっと長い時間乗りたかった。

I couldn't relax because I was constantly going in and out of the sea. I was hoping to go snorkeling in the shallow waters, but it was a wrong choice. The atmosphere on the boat was very nice.

海に入ったり、出たりが激しく、ゆっくり出来なかった。浅瀬でシュノーケリングを期待していた。セレクト間違いだった。
船での雰囲気は大変良かった。

I participated with my mother in her 50s. A few days ago, my sister and her husband who went parasailing warned us, "Be careful, you might get really seasick!" However, our boat ride was relatively smooth, so we didn't have to worry about seasickness. There was some slight turbulence in the air, but it was not scary at all; it felt like we were flying. I held a waterproof instant camera while flying, and it didn't interfere with taking pictures at all.

50代の母親と参加しました。数日前にパラセイリングをした妹夫婦からは、「すごく船酔いするから気をつけて！」と言われていたのですが、私たちの船は比較的穏やかな運転だったのか、船酔いの心配はありませんでした。空中では多少揺れましたが、怖さは全くなく、空を飛んでいるようでした。手に防水インスタントカメラを持って空を飛びましたが、撮影には何の支障もありませんでした。

In February 2015, I participated in a tour and completely forgot to leave a review.

I heard that the day before and the day before that, there were strong wind warnings, and the tours were canceled, but on the day I booked, it was held. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. However, February in Hawaii is really cold. I tend to get cold easily, and even with a wetsuit rental, the water was too cold. I didn't even have the courage to get in the water except for swimming with the dolphins.

In addition to the cruise, I enjoyed the hula dancing (even though I couldn't do it at all because it was too difficult), and the conversations with the crew were fun, but there was one thing. The pickup time was quite early, which I knew from the beginning, but I was surprised when I received a call to confirm the pickup time while it was still dark outside. While I appreciate the confirmation call, the timing was really too much. Plus, it's rare for the phone in my room to ring while traveling abroad, so it startled me. I wish they had mentioned it in advance if it was absolutely necessary. That's the only thing I still clearly remember even after five years.

2015年2月・・
すごく前に参加してすっかりレビューもせずにおりました。

前日・前々日が強風警報が出てて、ツアーも中止になったとのことでしたが
自分が予約した日は開催されました。
そして運よくイルカの群れにも遭遇出来てすごくよかったです。
ただ、2月のハワイってめっちゃ寒い。
元々寒がりなのもあるけれど、ウェットレンタルしても水が冷たすぎて。
イルカと泳いだ以外、水に入る勇気さえなかったです。

クルーズの他、フラダンスや(難しくてちっともできなかったけど)
クルーたちの会話も楽しかったですが一つだけ。
ピックアップの時間がかなり早かったのですが
それは最初から分かっていたのでいいのですが、それよりも前の暗いうちに
ピックアップ時間の確認TELなどが来たこと。
確認の連絡はありがたいけれど、時間がヤバすぎ。
しかも海外で旅行中に部屋の電話が鳴るってほとんどないのでまずびっくりするし。
必ず必要なら前もって言っててほしかったですね。
それだけが5年経った今もはっきり覚えてます。

The crew couldn’t have been more accommodating and fun! Lunch was delicious. Turtle spotting was fabulous. And the reef snorkel was an adventure to be remembered. Thanks for the memories!

The diamond seat was very good! We were prioritized for the lei, photos, and buffet, being the first in line! The stage was fun and really lively, and it was a wonderful luau show! The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen as either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The alcoholic version was quite strong. Even though it was cold, there were no warm drinks available, so I thought having a jacket would be a good idea.

Also, I had to wait about 20 minutes to exchange the voucher for tickets. After that, I lined up for photos, so for those in general seating, it took about 40 minutes in total. The photos were $50 in cash.

That day was a Sunday, and the fireworks for the Hilton's full occupancy were launched around 8:30 PM! It's such a wonderful environment to be able to see such a fantastic show within the village.

ダイヤモンドシートとても良かったです✨
優先的にレイや写真、バイキングも一番最初でした！ステージも楽しく盛り上げてくれますし、素敵なルアウショーでした！ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールかノンアルコールかどちらか選べました。アルコールの方はしっかり入っててキツめです。寒くても暖かい飲み物はないので、上着はあればいいかなと思いました。
あと、バウチャーからチケットに交換するのに、20分くらい並びました。その後に、写真の列に並ぶので一般席の方は合計40分くらいかかっていました。
写真は50ドル現金でした。
その日は日曜日でヒルトン満室御礼の花火も8時半頃打ち上げられました！ヴィレッジ内で、こんな素敵なショーが観れるなんて、とても素晴らしい環境です

In late February, my husband and I visited Hawaii and wanted to do something Hawaiian, so we participated in this activity!

Most of the participants were Japanese, with a few foreigners mixed in. The boats going to the sandbar were separated into one for Japanese people only and another that included foreigners. Both boats had Japanese guides who were very good at speaking, and the locals were cheerful, making the experience enjoyable from the boat!

When I asked the guide to take photos at the sandbar, they even directed us on how to pose, capturing many wonderful pictures from various angles♡

The guide also helped us look for sea turtles, and we were able to see a lot of them!

During snorkeling, we could see the sea turtles up close! The weather was great, but the water was very cold once we got in.

When we returned to the boat, they had warm drinks prepared, so we could relax and enjoy sunbathing on board!

The hamburgers for lunch were huge, and since we could add our own toppings, it was amazing to customize them to our liking! I'm so glad we could do something truly Hawaiian♪♪

サンドバーでガイドさんに写真を
お願いするとポージングまで指示してくださって
いろいろな角度から何枚も素敵な写真を
撮っていただきました♡


海亀もガイドさんも一緒に探してくださって
たくさんみることができました！

シュノーケリングでは海亀を間近で見れます！
ただ天気はすごく良かったのですが、

お昼のハンバーガーも大きくて
セルフで具材を足して行くので
自分の好きなアレンジで食べる事ができて
最高でしたっっ！！
ハワイらしいことができてよかったです♪♪

I participated with my 3-year-old child. The dolphins' eyes were adorable, and it was my first time touching them, which felt quite strange. They let us hear their sounds and splashed us with their fins, which was fun. It was my child's first time in a big pool, and it turned out to be a great experience. Wearing life jackets made us feel safe.

There were many foreign guests, so it felt like we were abroad. The staff only spoke English, but they communicated well with gestures, so it was fine! There was also a dolphin show, areas where we could touch starfish, and a play area for kids, making it a fun place to visit!

3歳の子連れで参加しました。
イルカの目が可愛らしく、触るのは初めてでしたが不思議な感触でした。鳴き声を聞かせてくれたりヒレで水をかけてくれたり楽しかったです
子供は大きなプールに入るのは初めてでしたが良い経験になりました。ライフジャケット着用で安心です。
外国のお客さんが多いので外国に来た気分を楽しめますスタッフは英語のみですが、身振り手振りで教えてくれるので大丈夫です！
イルカショータイムもあったり手でヒトデなどに触れるエリアや子供用プレイエリアもあり、楽しめる場所です！！

They provided support in Japanese.
They took over 90 photos for $30, and I was very satisfied!
For those who are prone to seasickness, especially Japanese people, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating, as there are many groups and you'll spend a lot of time on the boat.

日本語で対応してくださいました。
写真も$30で90枚以上撮影してくださり、とっても大満足！
参加する組が多いと、船に乗ってる時間が多いので船に酔いやすい日本人は、酔い止めを飲んでから参加することをお勧めします。

We visited with four adults, all over 20 years old. Although it was a morning course, horseback riding while overlooking the beautiful coastline of North Shore was absolutely fantastic. Our group consisted only of our family of four, but there were two support staff members, and it was no problem even for those who were mostly beginners. The riding time and course distance were just right, without any excess or deficiency. However, the restrooms are basic, so it's advisable to take care of that beforehand.

家族4人といっても全員20歳以上の大人4人で訪れました。午前中のコースでしたが、ノースショワの美しい海岸を眺めながらの乗馬は最高に良かったです。私達の回は私達の家族4人だけでしたが、2人のサポートの方が入っており、ほぼ全員初心者でも問題無かったです。乗馬時間やコースの距離も過不足なく丁度良い感じでした。ただ、トイレ等は簡易式のものなので事前に済ませておいた方が無難です。

I had a great time enjoying SUP at the sandbar with my dog Shaka. I took a lot of photos with my iPhone, creating many memories. Thanks to the diver's care, I was able to see fish and sea turtles up close with Scuba Bob. It was truly an amazing experience. Scuba provided the photos as data for the group for $40. Videos are an additional $40. I think that's a very reasonable price.

I joined this tour after reading reviews on Veltra. At first, I was a bit worried because there were some negative reviews, but once I participated in the tour, I realized there was nothing to worry about. Everyone was very friendly and nice. However, regarding what to bring, I think it's essential to have something warm, like a large towel, especially during the winter season (we participated in February) when coming out of the water.

While I recommend scuba diving, I highly recommend Scuba Bob, where you can comfortably see underwater! If you have a phone in a waterproof case, you can take a lot of great photos underwater! That’s what I did. If I have the chance to go again, I would choose this tour.

犬のシャカと一緒にサンドバーでSUPを楽しめました。私が持っていったiPhoneで写真をたくさん撮ってくれ、思い出がたくさんできました。スキューバボブはダイバーさんの気遣いで魚やウミガメが間近でみられました。本当に感動体験でした。スキューバは、撮ってくれた写真をデータでくれました(グループで$40)。動画はさらに+$40です。かなり良心的な値段だと思います。
veltraのレビューを見てからここのツアーに参加しました。はじめは、不安なレビューも複数あって、大丈夫かな？と思いましたが、ツアーに参加してみればなんのことはありません。皆さんとても気さくでいい方たちでした。ただ、持ち物に関して、冬の時期とされる期間？(私たちは2月に参加)は、大きなタオルなど、海から上がった際に暖を取れるものが必ずあったほうがいいと思います。
スキューバダイビングもおすすめですが、海の中を安心して見ることのできる、スキューバボブはめちゃくちゃおすすめです！防水カバーに入れている携帯なら、海の中をめちゃくちゃ撮れますよ！わたしはそれ派でした。また行く機会があれば、ここのツアーにするとおもいます。

What an experience! This tour is definitely worth it. The boat only takes out a max of 6 people which allows for more cage time and less crowds. The cage was plenty big for everyone to see and not feel cramped. We had sharks around us the entire time we were in the water and the water was so clear it was quite the experience. The crew was awesome and very knowledgeable about not only sharks but whales as well. We were able to stop on our way back into harbor and watch the whales for a little bit. Overall such a great experience, highly recommend!

Uncle Kevin was truely an amazing bus driver/tour guide! Made the day feel as though you were a local :). Amazing commentary and local facts. A whole range of activities to choose from and by far was the best taking a surf lesson on the north shore!

Couldn’t have asked for a better crew! Whole experience was outstanding from start to end!

Great time would do it again. The only thing I would change is some of the items on the menu.

While horseback riding, I was able to walk through vast lands and felt a very otherworldly atmosphere. I was a bit anxious about riding, but it was so much fun that I forgot all about it.

乗馬をしながら、広大な大地を歩けてとても異世界な空間を感じれました。乗馬をすることは少し不安もありましたが、そんなことを忘れられるくらい楽しかったです。

This time, not only the participants from Dolphin University but also the middle school participants went on the same boat! It was disappointing that there were more people than last time and that the activities and hula dance time were shorter.
However, the crew worked hard to entertain the participants, and I was moved to see dolphins up close!!! Although the activity time was short, I had a great time! Thank you very much! (^ ^)

今回はイルカ大学の参加者だけでなく、中学の参加者も同じ船で行きました！前回よりも人数が多かったのと、アクティビティやフラダンスの時間が短くなってたことが残念でした。
でも、クルーは参加者を楽しませようと頑張ってくれて、イルカにもすっごい近くで会えて、感動しました！！！アクティビティも時間は少なかったけど、楽しみました！ありがとうございましたー(^ ^)
