It was difficult for me to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay on my own due to scheduling issues, so I took advantage of this plan that allowed me to have a reservation and enjoy my time at Hanauma Bay freely. I was anxious about my English speaking skills, but there was a guidance sheet in Japanese, and the driver was able to understand our limited English, which made communication enjoyable. The entrance fee was collected by the driver, and a participant from an English-speaking country paid for everyone.

Since it was my first time snorkeling, I borrowed a life jacket. In the early morning, it was a bit chilly, so the life jacket helped keep me warm and was also useful for snorkeling. Even in shallow areas, I could see fish swimming, including the humuhumunukunukuapua'a! I would like to request this again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

自力でハナウマ湾の入場予約を取るには日程の都合で難しく、予約を取っていただける＋自由にハナウマ湾で遊べるこちらのプランを利用させていただきました。
英語のスピーキングに自信がなく不安でしたが、日本語での案内シートがありドライバーの方も私達の拙い英語の意味を汲み取ってくださり楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。入場料金はドライバーさんが集め参加者の中にいた英語圏の方がまとめて支払ってくださいました。

初のシュノーケリングだったのでライフジャケットも借りました。早朝だと少し肌寒いくらいなのでライフジャケットが防寒になり、シュノーケリングの助けにもなり役立ちました。浅いところでもお魚が泳いでいてフムフムヌクヌクアプアアも見られました！
また機会があればお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

This was my second experience. It had been six years since my last visit, and I was impressed by how well-trained the horses are, just like before. They let you ride alone right away, and you get to experience long rides for extended periods, which is a riding style that you wouldn't find in Japan—it's truly moving!

During my first visit, they took many more photos, so I thought it would have been nice if they could have changed the order a bit so that I could have had my picture taken while riding as well. Since my family was at the front, I was disappointed that no one could take my picture.

2度目の体験です。今回は6年ぶりでしたが、相変わらずよくトレーニングされている馬さんたちで感心していました。
いきなり一人で乗せてくれるし、しかも長時間長距離を体験させてくれるし、日本では考えられない乗馬スタイルで、感動します！
1回目に行ったときは、もっといろいろな写真を撮ってくださったので
できたら、進順番を変えてくれると、私も乗っている姿を写真に撮ってもらえたのかなーと思いました。家族で先頭で乗っていたので、誰にも撮ってもらえず残念でした。

I may not have confirmed everything in advance, but it was quite physically demanding. It's been years since I last went to the ocean. How many times have I gone snorkeling in my life? Given the situation, it's my own fault, but it was tough for someone in their 50s who isn't confident in their physical strength.

It seems that about half of the people were able to see the dolphins. With so many people, if you jump in later, the chances of seeing them decrease. If you're a good swimmer, you might be fine. My child and I weren't able to see them. My husband managed to see them, but he said it wasn't really swimming with the dolphins.

There weren't any impressive fish while snorkeling either. We didn't get to see any sea turtles. It's nature, so it can't be helped.

I've written mostly negative things, but the staff were really wonderful and their dedication was evident. That was a saving grace. Thank you very much.

事前の確認不足かもしれませんが、
体力的にかなりきつかったです。
海に行くのも何年ぶりかしら？
シュノーケリングなんて人生で何回目？
なんて状況でしたので自業自得ですが…
体力に自信の無い５０代には厳しかったです🤣

イルカは半分くらいの人は見れたみたいです。
人数が多過ぎて後の方に飛び込むと
見れる可能性は低くなると思います。
泳ぎが得意な人なら大丈夫かもしれません。
私と子どもは見れませんでした😭
主人はかろうじて見れたそうですが、
イルカと泳ぐ、ではないと言ってました。

シュノーケリングも感動する程の魚はいませんでした。
海ガメにも会えませんでした。
自然相手なので仕方ないですね。

悪い事ばかり書いてしまいましたが、
スタッフさんは本当に良い方達で
一生懸命なのが伝わりました。
それが救いでした。
ありがとうございました。

We love the experience they provide. Music is great. Staff is all good people and the activities are all fun. Definitely recommend doing it.

I was very, very satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much. The horse was gentle and made me feel safe. It seems that a family participating in the same tour accidentally got on a different tour's vehicle, which delayed our departure by about 30 minutes, resulting in a shorter stay at Dole Plantation, and that was disappointing.

とてもとても満足な内容でした。
有難うございます。
馬は大人しいし安心です。
同じツアーに参加のご家族が　違うツアーの車に乗ってしまったようで　３０分程出発が遅れ　ドールプランテーションの滞在が少なくなり　そこが残念でした。

Una valle splendida circondata da due lati da montagne a picco. Abbiamo fatto il circuito movie e sembrava di vivere all'interno di un film . Prima fra tutti i film jurassici.
Nessun problema con i biglietti, tutto ben organizzato e facilmente fruibile.

From start to finish, this excursion was worth every penny! Phenomenal staff and awesome adventures!

Family friendly and safety conscious.

We flew together as a family of three. From above, the deep blue ocean was visible. I was surprisingly amazed at how blue the sea is! Seeing Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu from the ocean was refreshing and truly exhilarating. Our whole family was very satisfied! On our way out on the boat, we even encountered a sea turtle and were overwhelmed by Hawaii's natural beauty.

親子3人で一緒に飛びました。
上空から見えるのは、紺碧の海。海ってこんなに青いんだ！と年甲斐もなく驚きました。海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルのまちも新鮮で、まさに爽快。家族一同、大満足でした！
ボートで沖に向かう途中、ウミガメにも会え、ハワイの自然に圧倒されました。

The staff were all cheerful and fun! Both the SUP and canoeing were enjoyable! The snorkeling was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many fish.

スタッフさんが皆明るくて面白い！supもカヌーも楽しかったです！
シュノーケルは少し寒かったけど、お魚がたくさん見られて良かったです。

You can see the culture and dances of the region in each section. It was fun just being there! I accidentally forgot to book the evening luau, so next time I want to see it with the luau included.

セクションごとにその地域の文化や踊りを見ることができる。
いるだけで楽しかった！
間違えて夜のルアウを予約し忘れてしまったので次回はルアウ付きで見たい

I was worried it might be hot, but it was surprisingly cool, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a lot of fun.

If you have a driver's license, I recommend driving!

暑いのではないかと心配したが、思いの外涼しく、景色も絶景でとても楽しかった。

免許をお持ちの方は運転するのがおすすめ！

I had to retire midway, but there were no regrets afterward. It was lonely. The staff were kind, there were various attractions, and the scenery was beautiful.

途中でリタイヤしたけれど　あとのホローはなし　寂しいな
スタッフの方々は　親切で　いろんなアトラクションが有り　景色もよかったよ

We participated with five people: our family of four and my grandfather. After completing the check-in, we had a slight delay in departure because the previous group returned late.

We had a reservation for 4:30 PM. Since we were the only family there, the wait time was minimal, and we finished without any time to feel seasick.

For parasailing, we split into groups of two and three, and everything went smoothly. We also requested photos for $40, and they took various shots for us.

My daughter, grandfather, and I went together, and 150 meters was higher than we expected, offering a breathtaking view. My 78-year-old grandfather was very moved, saying it would be a great memory.

After disembarking, the staff kindly transferred the photo data to my smartphone. I highly recommend this experience if you visit Hawaii.

　家族4人とおじいちゃんと、計5人で参加しました。受付を済ませて、始まりは前のグループが戻ってくるのが遅かったので、少し送れての出発でした。
　16時半からの予約。私たちの家族しかいなかったので、待ち時間が少なく、船酔いする暇もなく終わりました。
　パラセーリングは二人と三人で分かれて、段取り良く進みました。40ドルで写真もお願いしていたので、いろんなショットを撮って頂きました。
　娘とおじいちゃんと三人でしましたが、150mは思った以上に高く、絶景の眺めでした。78歳のおじいちゃんは、冥土の土産になるわーと、とても感動していました。
　下船して受付の方が写真のデータをわざわざ私のスマホに入れてくれました。
ハワイに来たら是非お薦めです。

If I go to Hawaii, I will definitely visit here. There are many types of attractions, and they change little by little, so you won't get bored. I highly recommend the attractions on Oahu!

ハワイに行けば必ずここに行きます。アトラクション種類も多く、少しづつ変わっているので退屈はしません、オワフ島でのアトラクション一番おすすめ！

You will drive a Kawasaki four-wheeler for about two hours at Kualoa Ranch. Although it's in English, the guide will carefully teach you how to operate it.

カワサキ製の四輪バギーで2時間ほどクアロアランチを走行します。英語ではありますがガイドの方が運転方法につき丁寧に教えてくれます。

Transportation and vessel operation were good. Food service and food need improvement. Service was very slow. Food was not served even remotely hot. Our steaks were so rare as to be inedible. A different dessert should be offered as the the one being served has very little taste. The food was a real disappointment.

The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the activities comfortably. It was nice to fully appreciate the magnificent nature of the ranch. However, the buggy I rode seemed to be poorly maintained, as the brakes were not very effective, and I almost collided with the buggy in front of me several times. It was particularly dangerous on downhill slopes, where I needed to maintain a significant distance to be safe.

天気にも恵まれて気持ちよくアクティビティを体験できた。牧場の雄大な自然を十分に満喫できるのがよかった。
ただ、乗ったバギーの整備が不十分なのか、ブレーキが効きにくい状態で、何度も前のバギーに追突しそうになった。特に下り坂では、十分に車間距離を取ってなければ危なかった。

This was my first time going dolphin watching, and I had a lot of anxiety, but the dolphins came closer than I expected, and the crew shared various stories about Hawaii, which made for a fun time. During snorkeling, the crew was very accommodating to our pace and preferences, which I greatly appreciated. If I have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, I would like to consider participating in other tours offered by Dolphin University. Thank you very much.

今回初めてのイルカウォッチングで不安も大きかったですが、思っていたよりも近くにイルカたちが来てくれたり、ハワイのことについてクルーの方たちが色々とお話ししてくださったりしたおかげで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。シュノーケリングでも常にクルーの方がこちらのペースや希望に合わせてくださり大変ありがたかったです。次回ハワイに来る機会があればイルカ大学の他のツアーの参加も考えたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time seeing dolphins up close like this. It felt like I was swimming alongside the dolphins with the Dolphin University boat, and I was able to be with them for a long time.

With the support of Minako, I was able to snorkel safely. I gradually got used to it and was able to move around on my own. Luckily, I also got to see a sea turtle, and I was able to experience everything.

My husband was a bit flustered during his first snorkeling experience and couldn't see the fish or the sea turtle, but he received constant support, so he wants to try again.

The slide afterward was intense and fun, but you have to be careful when sliding, or you'll end up swallowing seawater. I felt a bit seasick a few times when the boat moved quickly, but they kindly checked on me.

If I go snorkeling again, I think I'll choose Dolphin University.

こんなに間近でイルカを見ることができたのは初めてでした。イルカ大学の船と一緒に泳いでくれているようで、ずっとイルカと一緒にいられました。
シュノーケリングはMINAKOさんのサポートのもとで、安心して泳ぐことができました。少しずつ慣れていき、自分でも移動ができるようになりました。運良くウミガメを見ることもできて、全ての体験をすることができました。
夫は初めてのシュノーケリングで慌ててしまい魚もウミガメも見ることができませんでしたが、ずっとサポートしてくださったので、またリベンジしたいと言っています。
その後の滑り台も激しくて面白かったですが、滑る時に注意しないと海水を飲みます。
何度か船が速く移動する時の揺れで船酔いをしましたが、優しく声をかけてくださいました。
またシュノーケリングをやるならイルカ大学にしようと思います。

Coral Crater Adventure Tour was a fun, challenging rope course that was tackled together by our friends - great bonding time, lots of moral support and encouragement provided to each other under the watchful eyes and tips provided by our wonderful guides Derek & Sky who made sure we were safe and provided rescues as needed! Made wonderful memories! Laughed a lot! Conquered fear of heights, fear of maneuvering the rope course with little upper body strength, etc. We all did it and had a fantastic wonderful time with with which great memories and stories are made from!

Had a great time on the boat. The Captain and Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

I was able to fully enjoy the scenery of Hawaii while driving a buggy through both the mountains and along the coast, visiting movie filming locations. I ended up covered in dust, and by the end, my face was completely black, but overall it was fantastic!

Afterward, I wanted to wash my face clean, so I thought it would be convenient to have cleansing wipes.

映画のロケ地を巡りながら、山の中も海沿いもバギーで走るので、ハワイの景色を満喫できました♪
砂埃まみれになり、終わる頃には顔が真っ黒でしたが、総じて最高でした！

終わったあとに顔も綺麗に洗いたくなったので、
クレンジングシートがあると便利だなと思いました。

I participated with my child (5th grade). It was our first experience with banana boat, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, but the water depth was safe enough for adults to stand, so we enjoyed it safely.

子供（小5）と参加しました。バナナボート、Sup、カヤック、シュノーケル、全て初めての体験でしたが、大人の足が届く水深なので安全に楽しめました。

The view from the top of Diamond Head early in the morning was amazing. The pickup time was almost accurate, so I was able to participate without any worries.

朝早くから見るダイヤモンドヘッド頂上からの景色は最高でした。迎え時間もほぼ正確で､不安なく参加できました。

The weather was great, and it was amazing to see so many honu (sea turtles) 😀. The staff were all very kind, and I will participate again.

天気も良く、あんなに、たくさんのホヌに会えたのは、最高でした😀
スタッフさんも親切な方ばかりて、また、参加します。

We set off with three groups, including ourselves. The boat that takes you to the flying spot is already an attraction! We headed offshore while enjoying the sea breeze. Before flying, I was a bit worried because I have a fear of heights, but strangely, I didn't feel the height and it was refreshing. The staff were cheerful, and we had a great time.

私たち含め、3組で出発しました。
飛ぶところまで行く船がもはやアトラクション！潮風を浴びながら沖合に出ました。
飛ぶ前は高所恐怖症なこともあり少し怖いかなと思っていましたが、不思議と高さは感じず爽快でした。
スタッフの方も陽気で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I chose the plan with the banana boat. With about two and a half hours of activity time, I was wondering if it might be too much for just two adults before we started, but that was definitely not the case. We were able to enjoy activities for the entire duration! Especially during snorkeling, I was amazed to see so many fish gathering right in front of me, attracted by the food provided by the staff.

バナナボート付きのプランにしました。2時間半ほどの活動時間で、始まる前は大人二人には持て余すかな…？と思いましたが全然そんなことはありませんでした。時間いっぱいアクティビティを楽しむことができました！特にシュノーケルでは、スタッフさんにいただいた餌を目当てにたくさんの魚たちが目の前に集まってくれて感動しました。

This was the most expensive parasailing I've ever done! The view from the top is amazing! I did get seasick, but the staff were very considerate and kind. Thank you!

今までで一番高いパラセーリングでした！上まで行くと景色がとても良いです！船酔いしてしまいましたが、スタッフの方々が気を遣ってくださり親切でした。ありがとうございました。

We participated with children aged 7, 12, and 14. The kids were able to participate safely and had a lot of fun. Although the explanations were in English, there were also materials available in Japanese.

During our time, a Japanese captain kindly taught us various things. We were quite anxious, but we were all very satisfied, including the children.

子供7.12.14歳含めて参加しました。
子供達も安全に参加することができ、とても楽しめました。
英語での説明でしたが、日本語での説明資料もありました。

私どもの時は日本の方が船長さんで親切に色々教えていただき
不安いっぱいでしたが、子供含めて大満足です。

The scenery viewed from the car was wonderful everywhere. The facilities were clean, and I was able to spend my time comfortably. The staff were also very attentive in their work. Everything was punctual and well-organized. I had a great time.

車から眺める景色がどこも素晴らしかったです。施設も綺麗で気分よく過ごせました。スタッフの皆さんも丁寧なお仕事をされてました。時間も正確できっちりされてました。とても楽しかったです。
