Since it was a great opportunity, I decided to challenge myself at 150 meters!
With the sunny weather continuing and no wind, the view from above was an indescribable blue ocean and blue sky.
Just being blessed with good weather felt incredibly lucky!
I can understand why it's safe for even the elderly, as there’s no strain on the body! It felt like I was a bird♪
The crew members were also very friendly, and it’s definitely worth doing!

せっかくなので150メートルでチャレンジ！
晴れの日が続き、風もなく上から見る景色は例えようのないブルーオーシャン、ブルースカイ。
お天気に恵まれただけでもとってもラッキー！
体にかかる負担もなく、お年寄りでも安全にできるのはわかる気がします！鳥になった気分です♪
クルーの方々もとってもフレンドリーで、絶対にやる価値あります！

The crew was amazing and so was the tour. We honestly wanted to pay to do it again. The sandbar was so awesome and snorkeling was so much fun. It was the best experience we had on the island. The hamburger were great and hit the spot. Thanks again to our wonderful crew. It is a memory my whole family will cherish forever

I can't say enough about how amazing this crew is and how much fun we had!  The boat is so nice with two different net lounge seating areas at the front with seating space inside the cabin as well. We saw so many dolphins and the crew made everyone feel very comfortable snorkeling. They were also great with pointing out all of the different marine life that they found so we even got to see a couple of sea turtles! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a nice day out on the West side!

First we took a 15 min off-road drive up to the first zipline. You'll see mountain views, ocean views, and will be zipping above the forest/farmland. The staff at Climbworks were really nice and funny; they really got to know all of the customers and made the whole adventure even better. They also offered us fresh fruit/nuts that is grown on the farm throughout the tour. The whole experience felt very safe and the grounds were really well-kept. This is the perfect option if you are looking for a fun, exciting activity on Oahu.

I experienced underwater scooters, snorkeling, and paddle boating, and the sea was beautiful with stunning views. It was a valuable experience to see many fish and sea turtles up close. The staff were also friendly and approachable, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which made it easy to enjoy the activities. However, since I participated in January, the wind was a bit chilly, so I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket or a thick towel depending on the season.

水中スクーター＆シュノーケリング＆パドルボートを体験しましたが、海が綺麗で景色もとても良かったです。たくさんの魚やウミガメを間近で見ることができて貴重な体験となりました。またスタッフの方も親切できさくな方が多く日本語の通じるスタッフもいるので安心して楽しむことができました。
ただ私が参加したのが1月ということもあり、風が少し冷たく肌寒く感じたので時期によっては軽く上に羽織るものや厚手のタオルを持って行くといいと思います。

The water temperature is warm, and a wetsuit is not necessary. My second grader was able to participate with help from the crew. The kindergarten child observed with the captain on the boat. You can't swim with the dolphins as much as you might think. It's best not to have overly high expectations. However, the crew is a lot of fun, and we got to see dolphins, whales, and turtles. The departure event and hula dancing were fantastic! After seeing the dolphins, we were given cereal bars and drinks, which were water. During the meal, cheeseburgers, snacks, and juice boxes were provided. It's best not to have overly high expectations for the food. The boat sways, and many people leave food behind. If you're going to participate, the price is high, but the university program is good. The middle school program doesn't have the high diving kayak slide and only offers snorkeling. It's an experience worth having at least once, as it's something you can't do every day. The entire crew was amazing! Thank you so much to Maki, JB, Kela, and everyone else.

水温は暖かく、ウェットスーツ不要。小2の子はクルーに助けられながら参加できた。幼稚園の子は船長と船で見学。思ったほどイルカと泳げはしない。過度な期待は禁物。でも、クルーは楽しい人たちばかりだし、イルカ鯨亀を見れたし、出航イベント、フラダンス最高！イルカ見てからシリアルバーのお菓子が配られ、飲み物は水。食事の時にチーズバーガーとスナック菓子、パックのジュースが配られる。食事に過度な期待は禁物。船上で揺れるし残す人が多い。参加するなら値段は高いが大学が良い。中学は高飛び込みカヤック滑り台がなくシュノーケルしかない。一度は体験した方が良いほど普段できない体験ができる。クルー全員最高！マキ、JB、ケラなどなど本当にお世話になりました。

When the submarine dives, it becomes stable and comfortable. There were many fish around the coral reefs and sunken ships, which was enjoyable. Above all, I was thrilled when a sea turtle swam right in front of me—there were several of them! I think this is an experience you can't have often, so I recommend trying it at least once.

潜水艦が潜航すると揺れなくなるので快適です。
魚しょうや沈没船の周りには、多くの魚がいて楽しかったです。なんと言っても突然目の前でホヌが泳いできたのは、感激しました。それも、何匹も。なかなか経験できないと思うので一度体験しましょう。

I had a wonderful experience! The waters in Hawaii aren't very deep, so I was able to enjoy activities without fear. Compared to Japan, the sea was quite blue and beautiful.

What I liked the most was stand-up paddleboarding. I rode on a board floating in the sea, but it was unstable, making it very difficult just to stand. However, the sense of achievement when I managed to stand was incredible, and it felt refreshing. When I participated, the wind was blowing strongly, making it hard to go in the direction I wanted, but it was fun to paddle while riding the waves. The trainers were kind and taught us well, so even beginners can enjoy it!

During this tour, you can chat and laugh with other participants while having fun. Riding a small boat to cut through the wind until we reached the open sea felt great. It's an activity that can be challenging without being overwhelming, tailored to individuals, so I highly recommend it!

素晴らしい経験ができました！ハワイの海はそんなに深くないので、怖くなくアクティビティできました。また、日本と比較してみるとかなり青い海で綺麗でした。
私が気にいったのは、スタンドアップパドルボードです。海に浮かばせたボードに乗るのですが、不安定なので立つだけでも非常に難しかったです。その分立てたときの達成感が凄く、爽快な気分になりました。私が参加したときは風が強く吹いていたので思う方向に進むのは難しかったですが、波に乗ってパドルを漕げたら楽しいです。トレーナーの方々が優しく教えてくれるので、下手な人でも楽しめます！
このツアーでは、他の参加者ともお話ししながら笑いながら遊べます。広い海に出るまで小型のボートに乗って風を切るのも気持ちいいです。個人に合わせて無理なくチャレンジできるアクティビティなのでおすすめです！

I encountered a large pod of dolphins, swam with sea turtles, and was lucky enough to see a whale as well. The staff were friendly, and the captain was fun; it was a wonderful day.

イルカの大群と遭遇、海がめとの帆泳、運よくクジラも見る事が出来ました。
親切なスタッフ、楽しい船長さん、素晴らしい1日でした。

"We got no troubles, life is the bubbles, under the sea!" It was inevitable that "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid would be playing through my head on this tour. I've always been fascinated by ocean life and would love to someday learn how to scuba dive...but until then, this submarine tour is the perfect--and only--way to explore the world under the sea.
The shuttle out to the dive site not only provided great views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, but also gave us the chance to see exactly where we'd be descending and what part of the bay we'd be exploring.
I've actually done this tour twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time. On both tours we saw sea turtles, star fish, and tons of fish in various shapes, sizes, and colors. During the second tour we also got the chance to see two scuba divers exploring one of the sunken ships.
The crew were all very friendly and knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting facts and details about what we were seeing.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing a completely different world, so unlike what we see every day on land. Take Sabastian's advice and go "under the sea!"

I had always wanted to surf, but both my friend and I were a bit anxious, so we hesitated to make a reservation. To sum up our experience, we both had a great time. The instructors were very kind and funny, and I’m glad we took the surfing lessons here! Once we grasped the important points, we were able to stand on the board, which was satisfying. The instructors repeatedly emphasized the key points. If you're unsure, you should definitely take lessons here!

ずっとサーフィンがしたかったけれど、私も友達も不安で、予約を少し渋りました。感想から言うと、2人とも凄く楽しめました。インストラクターの方々がとても優しくて面白くて、ここのサーフィンレッスンを受けれて良かったです！
大事なことを抑えるとボードに立てる事ができ、満足しました。大事なことは何度もインストラクターの方が言ってくれました。
迷ったらここのレッスンを受けるべきです！

- The boat will sway.
- It's better to wear a swimsuit.
- It's a good idea to bring drinks like water.
- Sunscreen is also essential.

The staff members were nice, and I was able to enjoy myself without any worries!

・船は揺れます
・水着のほうが良い
・水など飲み物は持っていたほうが良い
・日焼け止めも必須

◎スタッフの方々も良い人たちで、心置きなく楽しめました！

I joined on Friday because I wanted to see Manoa Falls, but the path was muddier than I imagined, and my shoes got covered in mud. Haha! The guide said they had never seen such a condition before! It turned out to be a great memory. The organic lunch was very delicious, and we ate it in a park with a view of Diamond Head!

マノアの滝を見たくて金曜日に参加しましたが、道中が想像以上に泥道で、靴が泥だらけになりました。笑
ガイドの方もこの状態は見たことない！というくらい凄い道で、それはそれで良い思い出になりました。
オーガニックランチはとても美味しく、ダイヤモンドヘッドの見える公園で食べました！

I chose a 2-hour horseback riding course, and there was guidance in Japanese. The horses were very smart, allowing me to fully enjoy the scenery. There are coin lockers available, so it's fine even if you have a bit of luggage.

2時間の乗馬コースを選択しましたが、日本語のガイダンスもあり、馬もとても利口だったので景色を十分に堪能できました。コインロッカーがあるので、荷物が少しあっても大丈夫です。

Such a great experience- easy to book and pay for. Fantastic time and have pics to remember the event!!!
Loved it - would do it again

Since it was a weekday and not crowded, I was able to make a reservation the day before without any issues. There was a Japanese staff member at the reception, and even though I arrived quite early, I didn't have to wait long as the instructor was ready. I experienced three zip lines, and it was so much fun that it ended in no time. During the third zip line, I had a race with a family I was with, which made it even more exciting. The instructor was a cheerful female staff member who really got everyone pumped up. Next time, I want to try other activities as well.

平日で空いていた為、前日予約でも即OKでした。受付には日本人スタッフがいて、予約時間よりだいぶ早く着きましたが、インストラクターの準備が出来たとの事であまり待つことなく、体験出来ました。ジップライン3本でしたが、楽しくてあっという間に終わりました。3本目は、一緒の家族と競争して盛り上がりました。インストラクターは明るい女性スタッフで、盛り上げてくれました。次回は、他のメニューも挑戦したいです。

There is also a Japanese explanation video available, so you can understand the important points in advance. There are lockers where you can store valuables and backpacks. During horseback riding, you cannot carry anything larger than a small pouch, but you can place items like a camera or wallet in a pocket on the saddle that hangs on the sides. Basically, you will be hands-free while on the horse (it's better to minimize your belongings).

The female instructor knew some basic Japanese phrases like "Pull the reins!" This allowed many Japanese participants, who hardly understood English, to join in.

Kualoa Ranch is spacious and magnificent. While passing through the forest, you might encounter a family of wild boars or a herd of free-range cows, which adds a heartwarming touch. There were also people on buggy and 4WD tours at Kualoa Ranch, and we greeted each other from horseback.

It was a two-hour experience filled with the beauty of the sea, mountains, land, and forests.

日本語の説明ビデオもあるので事前に、注意点は把握して臨むことができます。ロッカーもあるので貴重品やリュックなど入れておけます。乗馬中は、小さなポシェットのようなサイズでも携帯できませんが、カメラやお財布くらいならは、馬の鞍に左右に引っ掛けるポケットのようなものに入れることはできます。基本、馬上は、手ぶらになります。（荷物は少なくした方がよさそう）

インストラクターの女性は、「手綱引っ張ってー」など片言だけど必要最低限の日本語を覚えてました。そのせいか、英語のほとんどわからない日本人も多く参加してました。

クアロアランチは、広々と壮大の一言。途中森林の中を抜けるときは、イノシシの親子や飼いっぱなしの牛の群などにも出会いほのぼの。
同じクアロアランチでバギーや４WDのツアーの人たちもいて馬上から眺めて挨拶。

海と山、大地、森林自然をたっぷり体感できる2時間でした。

I had a horseback riding experience that took us around locations from a two-hour movie. At first, I was really scared. Horses have emotions and personalities too, after all! I encountered a free-spirited horse named Goobee, and I was able to have various experiences while being guided by a staff member. Since it was January, we encountered some rain, but my UNIQLO Pocketable Parka came in handy, so I recommend it for those who want to experience this during the rainy season. If it rains from the start, it seems there are rental items available as well. You can only bring your phone or a waist pouch, probably to avoid any hindrance while the horse is running. There are also paid lockers available for other belongings ($5), and only $1 to $5 bills are accepted. Although it was only about two hours, I really felt how free my daily life is. I experienced all kinds of emotions with the horse, felt the great outdoors, and had a fulfilling experience that I can't get in my everyday life!

2時間の映画ロケーションなどを巡る、乗馬体験をしました。とにかく最初は怖かったです。馬とはいえど感情も持っていますし個性もあります笑っ リードされるお姉さんが見てないと自由奔放なgoobeeという馬と廻り合い、様々な体験が出来ました。1月でしたのでたまに雨に遭遇しました、UNIQLOのPOCKETABLE Parkarが役に立ちましたので雨季に体験される方にオススメです。雨が最初から降っていれば、貸し出し用の物もあるみたいです。携帯のみ持ち込めます、またはウエストポーチは持ち込めます。馬が走るのでその際に邪魔にならないためかと思います。その他の荷物はロッカー有料（5ドル）もあります。（1ドル札～5ドル札のみ使用可能）2時間ほどでしたが、日頃いかに自由な生活をしているのかを感じました、私は馬と共に喜怒哀楽全てを経験し、大自然を感じ、日常で体験出来ない感情と体験が出来大満足です！

We will travel by boat until we board the submarine. The weather was clear, and I truly felt the essence of Hawaii with the stunning scenery. The boat had restrooms and air conditioning.
We will transfer from the boat to the submarine on the water.
Inside the submarine, there were two rows of benches in the center, facing the windows from the bow to the stern. It didn't feel cramped.
However, the view from the crucial windows was disappointing. I could hardly see anything. The visibility was about 15 meters, and there were only a few moments when fish were visible. I did see a sunken fighter jet and a shipwreck on the seabed.
Including waiting and travel time, you should plan for about three hours. Additionally, it costs over 10,000 yen per person.
It might be better to consider other activities.

潜水艦に乗るまで、船で移動します。晴天で、大変素晴らしい光景に　ハワイらしさを実感しました。船には、トイレも有り、冷房も有りました。
海上で　船から潜水艦に乗りかえます。
潜水艦の内部は、中央にベンチが二列　船首から船尾まで　背中合わせに　窓に向かって設置してありました。窮屈感は無かったです。
肝心な窓からの景色は、期待外れでした。　ほとんど　何も見えません。視界は15m程度でその中に魚がいる時間は、ほんのわずかでした。海底に沈む戦闘機や沈没船は見れました。
待ち時間や移動時間を含めると3時間は見ておく必要が有ります。　また、一人1万円を超えます。　
他のアクティビティを検討した方が良いかもしれません。

it was our 1st time zipping, your crew was wonderful, best of the best
side trips we took

meal was very good, show was very good, tables for two were to close together.
We meat Japanese couple next to us that did not speak English
we talked all night with help of their phone translation app.
At the end of the night they were so happy someone talked to them, they invited
us to Japan to stay with them during the next Olympics

Fabulous destination. Everyone enjoyed the snorkelling. Weather was a bit unpredictable. We got to see Buster the seal.

The guide took fun videos at the filming location of Jurassic Park, which was amazing! The lunch buffet was also delicious! The jungle exploration tour can be quite bumpy, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some precautions like motion sickness medication.

ガイドさんがジュラシックパークのロケ地で楽しい動画を撮ってくれたりと最高でした！
ランチビュッフェも美味しかったです！
ジャングル探検ツアーは車がかなり揺れるので車酔いなどしやすい方は酔い止めなど対策した方がいいかもしれません。

The children went surfing for the first time, and it seems they had a lot of fun. By the second half of the session, they were able to ride the waves in a way that looked like they were surfing quite well. Their satisfaction level was high. They might participate again on their next trip to Hawaii.

こどもたちが初めてのサーフィンでしたが、とても楽しかったそうです。後半の時間にもなると、それなりにサーフィンしているような体制で波乗りできていました。満足度は高かったようです。また次のハワイでも、参加するかもしれません。

I participated in a submarine tour for the first time this time. Exploring the seabed in the submarine was beautiful and fun. It was a great tour where I even got to see sea turtles.

今回初めての潜水艦ツアーに参加させてもらいました。
潜水艦での海底探索は、景色が綺麗で楽しかったです。
海亀にもあえて良いツアーでした。

On the day of participation, there were only four of us, so the shuttle bus was almost like a private charter. At the ranch, the local guide was able to teach us how to ride properly, thanks to the small group size. The scenery along the way was mountainous, but the view from the summit was amazing! The guide took plenty of photos at the top, and of course, it was free! There were no crowds at all, allowing us to enjoy a relaxing time.

参加当日は4人のみの参加でしたので、送迎バスはほぼ貸し切り状態
牧場でも、少人数ならでは現地ガイドさんに乗り方をしっかりと教えてもらえました
道中の景色は山の中でしたが、山頂からの景色は最高！
山頂でガイドさんが写真撮影をたくさんしてくれました。もちろん無料です！
人混みなど一切なく、のんびりとした時間を過ごせました

It was cloudy, but quite cold. Those planning to go at the end of the year should be careful. The water clarity was a bit murky, but when I looked in while snorkeling, I could see many fish swimming around.

曇りでしたが、かなり寒かったです。年末に行く方は注意してください。
海の透明度は少し濁りぎみでしたが、シュノーケリング時覗き込むと魚がたくさん泳いでるのが見えました。

This was my first time participating after seeing it featured on TV. The pickup was smooth and on time. The bus's air conditioning was too strong, and even though I complained to the guide, it didn't help; everyone seemed to endure it. It had been raining all morning, which made me anxious during the journey, but once we arrived, the sun came out, and I felt relieved. The orientation was also easy to understand in Japanese.

All the participants on the E-bike were Japanese. The road was a bit muddy due to the rain, but we enjoyed cycling while taking in the scenery without speeding. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but he was humorous and guided us carefully, taking photos for us, making it a fun hour.

Since we only participated in one activity, we had a three-hour wait until the return bus. I was wondering what to do when a staff member informed me that there was a public bus (THE BUS) stop nearby and suggested I take that, providing me with the timetable. I used that to get back.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

ＴＶで紹介されていて初参加。
ピックアップは時間通りスムーズでした。
バスのクーラーが効きすぎていてガイドに訴えるも効果なく
みんな耐えていた様子。
朝からずっと雨で道中不安でしたが到着したら晴れ間が出て一安心。
オリエンテーションも日本語で分かりやすかったです。

Eバイク参加者は皆日本人、雨のせいで少し道がぬかるんでいたけどスピードを上げることなく景色を堪能しながらのサイクリング。
ガイドは日本語話せませんでしたがユーモア交え丁寧に案内してくれ写真撮ってくれたりで楽しい1時間でした。

1種目のみの参加だった私達は帰りのバスまで3時間の待ち時間がありどうしたものかと思っているとスタッフの方が公共バス(THE BUS)の停留所が近くにあるからそれで帰るといいよと、時刻表とともに案内してくれそれを利用して帰りました。

概ね満足なツアーでした。

The sandbar was quite cold in winter, with water levels up to an adult's waist.

I was able to see sea turtles!

Also, the hamburger for lunch was delicious.

I'm glad I was able to take a lot of photos.

サンドバーは冬に行くとなのか、大人の腰まで水位があり、めちゃくちゃ寒かったです。

ウミガメ見れました！

あとランチのハンバーガー美味しかったです。

写真もたくさんとっていただけてよかったです。

It was a very nice horseback riding session.
The view was great.
Maybe less hour might have been nice if you are a beginner because my bottom started to hurt the last 30 minutes. Other than that, the staff were very friendly and it was a nice time :)
